I found a lot of positives in the first one, I thought that Liam Neilson, and Ewan Mcgregor did a terrific job in thier roles. Ian Mcdiarmid was solid as Palpatine. I thought Nat Portman wasn't great in her role throughout the series. The premise was good to me but it was a little cartoonish. The fight between Maul and Obi-wan was probably one of the best sword sequences that I've ever seen.

I thought the Attack of the Clones was excellent, the CGI work was excellent, and Palpatine really shined as a two faced evil villian, that you knew was evil but he was playing things so well.Christensen had some good scenes and some really bad scenes. The dialogue wasn't great but I liked the premise of the movie, and the battle scene was terrific. They also llimited Jar Jar to a very minor role, with a idicator that he caused the fall of the republic by bringing in the motion of emergency powers.


The Revenge of the Sith I thought was very good, especially with the seduction of Skywalker, the duel between Vader and Obi-wan was well done except for the high ground bit, the duel between Yoda and Sideous was great. A little weak in the premise and the frankenstein moment was cringe worth, but I enjoyed it. The starship battles at the start was absolutely stunning.

I think the biggest problem with the films was that they were compared to the original which we all have happy and overblown memories of. But the acting in the first star wars was also a little wooden and cringeworthy as well

Great post captain!
Menace was the most poor but you're right the sabre scenes and fights with maul perhaps are the best of their kind. Genosis battle was good too but the lava was a bit forced down our throats.
BTW
Jedi was directed by Richard Marquand and not Lucas and co-written by Lawrence Kasdan.
