ROS was rushed like hell! The first hour flowed great but after that its jumping from scene to scene so fast your watching one scene and trying to catch up on what just happened in the last scene! TPM and AOTC did not seem to have this problem. This is just what I think but I think letting Ben Burt edit the films was George Lucas's biggest mistake!
GL only directed ANH y'know.
But AOTC just didn't make sense?
TPM introduced Anakin, OB1, Palpatine, C3PO and R2 D2.
ROTS linked everything together Vader, The Emporer, EVERYTHING.
AOTC just introduced Luke n Leia's mother and the troopers, but I couldn't decided what the hell they were, or what side they're on.
It seamed to me that AOTC was in the middle between any mager events and was b-o-ring.

ESB was written by Lucas. All the movies were written by Lucas.
The story came from George Lucas though, but all the lovely intricacies and plot points and twists came from Brackett and Kasdan. They gave it the flavour we've come to love and so did Kershner's direction. If you check out films like The Eyes of Laura Mars, or Who's Killing the Great Chefs of Europe, you can only love this man (and forgive him his episode of Robocop. 😉 )
A few more things I liked about AOTC: the feeling of anticipation of ep III at the surprise marriage at the end; seeing the clone troopers; Shmi's death scene, so horribly tragic; Anakin's slaugter of the sand people; him telling Padme about it, (still gives me chills); actually seeing that Anakin & Padme were in the Lars homestead where Luke grew up; re-uniting of the droids. As well as the aforementioned yoda/dooku battles and the start of the clone wars. I could go on and on about how muck I liked Attack of the Clones.
When it came out, I liked it better than TPM. But with ROTS I can't see the point of AOTC. That is my main dislike... it's not really about something. ESB demonstrates how much romance a movie can have with so few scenes, so we don't even need AOTC for that. It's redunancy is what bothers me most... and OB1's hairpiece... 😂
