The throne room duel with Darth Maul in particular more than makes up for the issues that the film has imo.

Revenge Of The Sith is still my favourite of the Prequel Trilogy though, I actually think that Attack Of The Clones is the worst Star Wars film.

That's a bingo. Clones is atrocious.

The only thing I liked about Clones was the Cgi during the final battle. That war was glorious to watch.

The way that Anakin's and Padme's romance was handled is laughably bad, it's cringe inducing.

That's one of the main reasons why it's my least favourite film in the franchise.

Thankfully it was handled better in Revenge Of The Sith, well at least up until the whole "Annie, you're breaking my heart" line lol.

I dunno there were some other bad lines way before that one like Kenobi saying "Hello there." to Grevious, which didn't fit the character that Guinness set up in A New Hope. There was also the hilariously bad exchange between Portman and Christensen:

Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful.

Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love.

Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.

Padmé: So love has blinded you?

Anakin Skywalker: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant.

Padmé: But it's probably true.

i was literally going to post that exact same quote between Anakin and Padmé. I looked it up on imdb for accuracy and everything. Heh. That's the worst exchange in the film IMHO, and I believe it happens fairly early in the film. Other than that, and a few other instances of poor writing/staging/pacing, Revenge of the Sith is pretty good, though.

lol so, so, so awful. I really don't understand how anyone could write such horrible dialogue.

That's just it. Lucas comes up with excellent ideas, but putting them in film is not a talent of his. This is why Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are so much better than the other four films.

Well ... I think A New Hope and Empire are by far e best the series.

It's amazing how wrong you are about most everything.

I think AOTC and ROTS are far better than Jedi.

In your opinion, but there's nothing humble about it.

Are you kidding me? AOTC is largely a snooze fest and the cringe worthy dialogue during the entire film makes it the worst of the series. Other than the Ewok scenes I think ROTJ is just as good as Empire. Please keep in mind you are speaking to a Star Wars junkie who has seen all six probably a few hundred times.

ROTJ is a bunch of fake looking puppets running around the screen for 2 hours, and the Rebels take a back seat to some teddy bears, at least AOTC has scenes of actual armies advancing on each other, and fantastic Jedi battles. Also, the most planets in any SW movie.

IMHO the ending battle that features dozens of different types of ships along with the confrontation between Luke, Vader, and Palpatine makes ROTJ a great film.

Even my 10 year old self could predict the ending to Jedi about an hour into the movie.

[rickah88]

My opinion is right...no mine...no mine...

Some things will never change. That's why I like all the Star Wars films!

[stvn1974]

Jedi has its flaws but still nothing as bad as the romance of Clones. I still don't buy Anakin's turn to the dark side one bit so Sith is a big wash for me too.

The Tatooine scenes in AOTC are amazing. Some of the best scenes in any SW movie. Anyways, I'm tired of arguing about old Star Wars, I hope we get some information on the storyline of the new trilogy soon.

A 4 year old could. It's called THE RETURN OF THE JEDI. Maybe it has to do with Luke Skywalker returning? Nah.

The final battle of ships near the end of the movie still hopes up incredibly well - better than anything CGI I've seen.
