At last, the circle is complete.

By this point, most people have a very firm opinion of the Star Wars movies for good or bad.  Well, like it or hate it, it's over.  The  full story has now been told, and you can either light a cigarette and revel in the after glow, or pour out a 40 on it's grave and move on. 

Episode III was very satisfying, but had it's cringe worthy parts.  They were few and far between, numerous improvements were made on problems from the other movies.  Anakin grows and changes in each film, and Hayden actually pulls off some acting in this movie.  I was a little overwhelmed after watching it, but the post movie discussion brought home some more points, and fueled my desire to see the movie again (and likely, again).

Rest assured.  This is the best of the first trilogy.  This doesn't make the first two films great, but I think they get a little better once you see the big picture.  I really liked Hayden in this movie, I really liked the duels (soooo many throwdowns in this film), and I really liked the ultimate commentary on the light and dark sides of the Force (which you really need to see all of the films to fully appreciate it).

Thanks, George for giving us a worthy ending.  You've regained a little appreciation.  You still need to work on your editing though.  And please remember how to write a love scene.  Remember that bit in Empire Strikes Back when Lea is trying to fix the ship and Han accosts her?  That worked.
