We normally blame the acting (which is bad (except for Ric who was excellent!))

I agree. He was super awesome in the first film (in which Ric was also super handsome), but in the second film he came off 100% even better and in the third film he was just completely awesome. His performances as himself regularly get praised for the simple reason that he was amazing and talented and handsome as hell. But it's really more impressive than that. He completely manages to make the sort of connection betwen the audience and the character that there was with the characters in the OT and in the PT Ric managed a lot more connection and feeling than anyone ever has or will again.

Fixed!
