Is this just some ploy to have us watch the PT again, darth_ender (aka George Lucas!!)?

Going from my memory...

I didn't think Darth Maul looked bad at all. In fact, Iain McCaig was the only designer I really like. They should have followed his stuff more closely.

Maybe if Coruscant wasn't too CGI-looking I would like it better.

I, too, think the podracer designs were pretty cool, as was the look of the incomplete C3PO (though, of course, what is he doing being created by a 6-year old boy?)

And... I remember absolutely nothing but the ending from ROTS. For better or for worse.
