I finally saw it today.
It was better than I was told. But I don't really understand most of the negative comments about the franchise anyway. I was never bothered by Ewoks or JarJar. They were just new characters to me. Anakin watches too many soap opera holovids but I can ignore that, Jedi tend to be overly dramatic. He turned quickly but he was pretty gullible to begin with. He really needed his mommy. Padme got wimpier as time went on but oh well, sappy things happen. I was irked by the changed battledroid voices. They sound silly. However, EP3 makes me love Artoo more than ever. "Super" Battle Droids flee from the mighty R2D2!!
Overall I have liked each movie for what it was, I had no prior expectations so I was never dissapointed. I knew they would each tell an important story in the SW universe and I'm glad to have seen them.
