I can't believe no one has started a thread about this yet. Yeah, I was there at 12:15 Wednesday night.
Definitely better than the other two, but it still had some problems.
Whoever did the voices for any/all of the "non-starring" droids should be locked in a room with jar-jar for a few hours. Yuck. I don't know if Natalie Portman is the worst actress of all time or she got stuck with the worst lines in history. I still don't get why the Emperor turned ugly- that didn't happen to anyone else.
The lava fight actually WAS very good, and a lot more graphic than I expected. Grievous was both really cool and kinda stupid, I haven't decided for sure yet 
Comments on this movie?

replay did you wait in line all day?
I saw the lines on TV of people camping out in our area
I do want to see it..
In 1977 I saw Star Wars 5 times at the theater, my friends got tired of going, and I went by myself the last time!
Did the movie go along with the first 3? I guess they would have to, and I am guessing Portman and Anakin (sp?) got married, and had the two children (from the first movie, Luke and Princess Leah)before he joins the 'dark side'? Are they able to fit all that in the movie?
I guess I'll wait to see it, but am curious.

My daughter saw it. Said it was great. I saw the first one back in the 1970's and haven't had the desire to see any more of them, though.

"replay did you wait in line all day?"
Nope. I was amazed at how simple and easy it was. I ordered the tickets a week prior on phone (The 12:05 and 12:10 were already sold out a week ahead, and movietickets.com wasn't working for this particular showing) and picked them up at the door (no line).
I did go about an hour early so my brother and I could find two seats together, and the theater was probably 70% full an hour early. Naturally, it was jam-packed when the movie started. All the other movies were over by 10:30 or so, and they were just letting people in to pick their seats immediately after those films ended. Since we arrived after that, I never even actually saw an actual line.
So aside from one "wasted" hour watching the lunatics in costume, it was no different from going to any other movie.
But driving home at 3:30am was a unique experience too. yawn!

Great movie, special effects were alone worth the price of admission. What do you think replay, cleared up most of the questions?
I thought it did so pretty well and alot better than the first two.

Replay - haven't seen the movie but have seen reviews and been watching Portman since The Professional (GREAT movie!!). All of the reviews I have seen said that the movie is very good but that dialog was a weak point. I'm more inclined to believe it's a dialog issue thatn Portman.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Not answering for replaymeida, but her lines were definately not in line as something you would of expected from the previous two movies.
Basically she was just a loose end that need to be tied.

"she was just a loose end"
Yep. She needed to have some babies at the end, everything else was irrelevant. And with the dialogue she was given, that was probably a good think. The whole "you're breaking my heart" conversation still makes me cringe to think about it.
Palpatine needs his own spinoff series of movies- just too cool. Although I'm still not clear on why he got ugly... No one else zapped with force lightning got ugly!
But yes, they did tie up all the loose ends I can thnk of... Manipulations of Midichloreans, reappearing "ghosts" in the final three movies, droid mindwipes, and most other loose ends were covered.
Does anyone remember the name of Palpatine/Sideous' old Sith master who figured out how to extend life? Was it "Darth Poisonous" or something? Although he neveer appeared he was a central point of one conversation.
Definitely a good movie and FANTASTIC special effects. Like I said in my original post, awful dialogue and silly robot voices were the only cringeworthy parts.

Replaymedia, did you notice that they even had an actor that looked a little like Peter Cushing from the Original.

Yep, right there at the end on the Star Destroyer. Did this guy turn up anywhere else in the movie or just that one brief scene? I wish he'd have had some lines. I always liked Tarkin.
This was one of those little details that make me feel Lucas WAS paying attention this time.
