Could have been so much better!

But then, all three of the prequels were average at best. As you can tell, I'm one of the group that was underwhelmed by the lastest Star Wars trilogy. The first two ([[ASIN:B00003CX5P Star Wars - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition)]] & [[ASIN:B00006HBUJ Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition)]]) had to be endured in the hope that the "The Revenge of the Sith" matches up with the standard set by the first Star Wars trilogy ([[ASIN:B00003CXCT Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition with Bonus Disc)]]. Although better that epidodes 1 & 2, and more intense, it doesn't. The film still leaves you wanting more substance.
The Amazon review states "Episode III is easily the best of the new trilogy--OK, so that's not saying much, but it might even jockey for third place among the six Star Wars films." No, sorry. Easily ranks fourth. And to be honest I wasn't a huge fan of episode 6, [[ASIN:B000FQVX78 Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition)]]. I felt it had too much of a "muppet" feel to it. But Episode 3 suffers the same issues as 1 & 2, too much dependence on special effects. Way too much. In this type of film do we want great special effects? Absolutely! And Episode 3 succeeds wonderfully. But we don't want the effects to overshadow the main plot or the characters. This is where the movie fails. Time and time again I found myself concentrating on the effects and not paying that much attention to what the characters were doing.
But, I guess overall we have to have the series. It wasn't a dud, and therefore a good purchase, if only to round out your Star Wars Collection. When George Lucas originally wrote the plots for Star Wars he actually wrote 9 episodes, and has said time-&-time again that he is not interested to filming episodes 7 - 9. Based on episodes 1 - 3, I think that is a good idea. But if he does eventually choose to do so, let us hope that he will retain only the Executive Producer role and pass the actual film making duties to better directors. People who can take his vision and turn it back into the exciting and wonderful films that the original trilogy was.
