I think Ady will do something special for this battle. Remember that technology will be 2 years better than it is today. So he could pull this off easier and better than he could right now. That's really the only reason I'm glad he is doing the saga 4-5-6-1-2-3. Meaning TPM needs alot of work just visually.

If he just colour corrects it, removes Jar Jars antics, and axes the midichlorions, I will be happy. I think visually it is more like the OT than the other 2.

The effects weren't terrible. They just need some tweaking. Some of the pointless rambling needs a good trim. This film is way more salvageable than the horrible Hayden PT films.

I must disagree, TPM is just as bad (and at times worse) than either of the other prequels in every aspect.

I've just re-watched The Princess Bride (for the umpty-thumpteenth time) and that showed the power of well written dialogue to tell a story.

The production values, the photography and the score, even the direction are pretty basic and at times weak enough to wreck a lesser script, but the writing and the acting lift it well beyond anything in the Star Wars prequels and most of ROTJ.

I look forward to a really radical reworking of the prequels (including redubbing the worst of the dialogue acting human, alien and droid).
