My favorite SW movies of the new trilogy (last time I saw the old trilogy was too long ago for me to still have a clear opinion about it):

1. EpIII. Without a doubt.
2. EpII. Well, the scenes with only Obi-Wan at least. It really isn't all that bad when you simply skip the Anakin and Padme/Anakin scenes. Thank God for DVD players
3. EpI.
4. EpII, the scenes with Anakin or Anakin/Padme.

I really liked the large-scale combat scenes in EpII. For me, the most interesting and fun aspect of the SW universe is the technology. The Jedi/Sith are not that important IMO.

But is forcing his own brother to suffer a horribly painful death any better than killing him?

Well I finally got to see Star Wars Ep. III...and damn was it ever good.

Have you ever gone to a theater, watched a movie, then when the movie ends you feel as though you are still in the world the movie created? Star Wars created this feeling for me this evening, and it is very rare for me to experience it.

The effects were nothing less than awe-inspiring, and the story was deep...and dark. Much darker than any of the other movies. Yet its very darkness makes it appealing in an age of sugar-coated movies where everything turns out well in the end. It's refreshing to say the least when a movie shows that the good guys don't always win, that people never "live happily ever after".

It was almost gut-wrenching to experience the betrayal by Skywalker, the slaughter of all those Jedi...the story was so immersive I found myself feeling as though I was there, watching the entire thing first hand, experiencing all the emotions to go along with it...a rare thing indeed.

As you can tell, I liked it. A lot.

One thing I can't understand though. After Obi Wan sliced off Anakin's legs and arm, why did he just leave him there to combust and die a slow, painful death? He claimed Anakin was like a brother too him, and yet if that was so, why did he not just kill him, bring the end quickly? Just something that didn't totally make sense to me.
