I agree completely about the establishing shots. It felt like an incredibly long episode of ST:TNG and not much like a movie at all.

Otherwise, there was a very confusing mess of locations and characters which constantly had to be re-established every 5 minutes because of all the loose ends that generalfrevious mentioned. Making that even worse, however, was the way George Lucas was compelled to totally ruin every possible feature of the Star Wars universe. In other words he felt the need to tie loose ends that weren't even related to the main story for no other reason than to spoil their mystique. For some unfathomable reason he couldn't leave even the tiniest of story elements ambigious for our sake. He's twisted and evil.
