I was actually very disappointed with the amount of [or lack of] Jar-Jar footage for Revenge of the Sith.

Fixed.

Hey! c'mon now. Play nice.

Heh, I couldn't resist.

I think that, with any franchise built on the back of one person's vision (James Cameron and the Terminator series, Francis Ford Coppola and the Godfather series), making a sequel much farther than the road is not always a good idea. You get this sort of "mystique" built up in the minds of the fanbase, and the end product, even if it's good, is sure to be a letdown. Most people were set out to hate Terminator 3 when it was announced Cameron wasn't directing, and the movie was actually quite watchable, but it will always be the black sheep of that series. With this film, I think that once the euphoria of the premiere wore off, people were quick to slight the film for it's kid-like elements (the comic relief, the questionable acting by the child actor), but they forget about the great lightsaber duel, the scenes on Coruscant (which I thought were quite good)...what I mean to say is that, while I don't think the film is great by any means (it could have used more finesse like the original script), it will always be maligned, and I personally don't think it could have ever lived up to the standards Star Wars fans had set in their minds. Just my opinion, of course.
