I'm going to watch this movie today at 5:00 PM EST. Wish me luck... Btw, if you don't like star wars, you're not going to like the movie, just a warning

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.

I don't remember the droids being so talkative... Those droids talked a whole lot

Well I took my two 8 year old nephews to see the movie and they were not impressed. The battle and light saber fights kept their attention, but otherwise they did not comprehend the movie.

After spending some quality time with them I have been left with the distinct impression that they may not be normal 8 year olds. They act and seem much younger.

I am so horribly depressed.

Oh well, the movie was just as good and even more so now that I could spend some time looking at the details in the back ground between pop corn fights, and bored tempor tantrum throughing 8 year olds.

Which droids? General Grievous? Or were it the other, combat droids? If so, which ones? Battle Droids? Super Battle Droids?

Grievous was simply awesome..... I can find no other words to descrive him/it. Especially the dual-lightsaber whirl while he's approaching Kenobi in the Utapau hangar.

Clone stormtroopers looked very good, they actually changed during the movie. At first, they looked like Clonetroopers with a bit of Stormtrooper in their helmets, at the end they looked like Stormtroopers with a tiny bit of Clonetrooper in their helmets. Also, the ARC-170 pilots' helmets look almost exactly the same as the Rebel fighter pilot helmets.

Once again, droids were used for comic relief - not C-3PO though, Battle Droids and Super Battle Droids. Nice change of pace.

First line of the Super Battle Droid Handbook:
When facing an astromech droid, especially of the R2 series, do NOT attempt to engage - run like hell and get heavy backup.

I didn't really see any Droid Tri-Fighters or Utapauan fighters, and I only saw the V-wings at the end, escorting Palpatine's shuttle to the landing pad. Pity.

First line of the Buzz Droid Handbook:
When landing on a starfighter, check for R2 units first, if you spot one in your vicinity, make sure there is at least two feet distance between you and it.

Second line of the Buzz Droid Handbook:
When taking care of a starfighter, WATCH OUT for wingmen!

Shooting droids off an allies spaceship, NOT a good idea.
