      Everything that’s annoying about AOTC is there in spades in ROTS.

      ROTS just had few better parts.

        The immersion breaking total lack of chemistry in 2 between Anikin and Padme, which is my biggest complaint, is hidden by his anxiety in 3. Add some of the best action sequences in SW that are found in 3, and I will have to agree to disagree with you good sir.

          Are we allowed to politely disagree and move on??!! I am happy to go into my thoughts as to why ROTS can’t overcome its shortcomings, but a lot of comes down to what hit me as a kid watching the OT and how the PT was such a drastic departure. Certain of those choices were rolled back in the ST, so I’m fonder of it than most, though I’ve been holding a torch for TLJ so long…

            We can do that, especially as I loved TLJ when it came out too. 9 kinda soured my taste for it though.

          2 would have been a better movie if they had cut out the Naboo part down to pretty much just the kiss, maybe with some text to say they were having a great time or something. Based on their interactions shown, I found them leaving there not liking each other as much more believable than falling in love, especially with the scenes in the capital showing how little respect they had for each other.

          Then they could have used that time to make the fight against Dooku longer for each of Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda.
