Lol, that's the mistake that the majority of people made with Episode 1 (I'm expecting some fan boy reaction there, so I'm excluding anyone that had been waiting since 1983 for MORE Star Wars - hehehehe)
The media hype surrounding Ep1 was off the scale & the announcement of a "Cool new villain thats gonaa whoop Jedi @$$" for Ep3, is just going to encite more hype & again lead to bitter disappointment.
My policy is just to accept that its Star Wars (but not as some know/like it) & get swept away with all the eye candy & hopefully kick @$$ fighting!
