^^ agreed
The prequels of Star Wars really had a seriously problem from the get-go...you already knew the most important parts of the story! From there it had to be like good opera, as they say, as in the execution of the story is the most critical element. On a lot of levels, it was TERRIBLE. But for the most part, it had the feeling of a Star Wars movie than either of the previous two did. There were obvious holes in the storyline that Lucas can only assume disappeared in some black hole in every Star Wars fan's mind, which may have been why the reasons why some of the things played out the way they did was so erroneous.
I'm still pissed they used a CG jell-o mold Yoda than to have some little robot or a midget in a suit.
The first action sequence, however, was quite good
