Easily. That's the only prequel movie that most people consider good.
Really. I thought it was easily the worst. I thought the first one was decent and they got progressively worse. Maybe it is just because I can't watch any scene with Hayden Christensen without cringing violently, but I thought TPM at least had some good scenes and I don't think of the third one as having any redeeming qualities.

You can't deny that it had the best story out of the three and arguably the best fight scenes of the prequels (Obi Wan and Anakin and Yoda and Sidious).
I heard their only going to have ONE light sabre fight scene just like the first one?
Good. George lit up the screen with so many of those damn things last time that he achieved the impossible: making the coolest fictional weapon in cinematic history utterly boring.
It was better when the lightsaber effect was harder to do technically during the original movies, cause you know when one was ignited, it really had to mean something.
These new TIEs resemble the classic TIE Fighter, with their vertical wings and central cockpit. The foreground ship has some departures though. It’s got extra engines between the cockpit (which has an extra row of windows) and the wings (which have elongated top panels). It appears to be a much roomier vessel with a large gangplank that descends from the rear of the ship to the ground; presumably the Imperial Guards at attention in front of the ship travel inside along with its pilot.
So just who is the pilot? In the original trilogy, we only saw the red robes of the Imperial Guard when the Emperor was on site. It certainly appears the the Empire is alive and well in Episode VII – does an Empire need an Emperor? If so, who might have inherited Palpatine’s throne? In absence of a new Emperor, have the regional governors simply maintained direct control of their territories for three decades?
Another piece of Episode VII pre-production art shows a TIE design nearly identical to the one in the background of this image save for the fact that it is black, and the ship featured red markings on its hull like the ones on the larger TIE seen here. That production art was labeled “TIE Fighter – Special Forces.” This new larger fighter could belong to the commander of those “Special Forces” – perhaps Gwendolyn Christie’s Chrometrooper is important enough to the Empire to travel with two of the Imperial Guard?

I would be totally fine with that....the prequels became so Jedi and force- centric that it took away from many of the finer points of the original trilogy. X-wings vs Tie Fighters, massive moon sized super weapons, blaster fights, strong non Jedi characters that didn't make one want to cringe. That what I'm hoping for.

Yes, this. One of the most famous characters from the original wasn't a main character and wasn't a Jedi. Lets see if they can do that again.

Although the filmmaker began work on "Episode VII" before selling Lucasfilm, he says Disney decided not to go with any of his ideas.
Quote:
“The ones that I sold to Disney, they came up to the decision that they didn’t really want to do those,” he tells Cinema Blend during an interview about the animated Strange Magic. “So they made up their own. So it’s not the ones that I originally wrote.”
I kind of figured this is how it would go down, but part of me is still satisfied getting it from the source. I will always be grateful for the universe he created, but I look forward to a fresh take on it.

I've been pretty hard on Lucas, but the Star Wars creative process seems to work best when they had other people filter Lucas' insane ideas into something coherent.
Lucas had a lot of ideas and wanted to use every single one of them. Some of them were amazing. Some of them were god awful. And unless he had someone there vetting them, he would use all of them. It cluttered the screen, bloated scripts and just diluted everything.
