Yeah, it wasn't until AOTC that I realized the PT was fucked. I wasn't crazy about TPM when I saw it, but I still was in a not-very-critical mindset and focused on its limited better aspects rather than its faults. I still had some faith in Lucas (god knows why). Then AOTC came along, with Hayden Skywalker and all that shit and the total emptiness of the movie and I realized Star Wars had lost its way. I viewed TPM more critcally then. After that, I didn't expect much from ROTS, but ROTS stil managed to disappoint my meager expectations.
