Good point, Ush. Some even make sense. 😛
But really, I still think all the scenes with Vader and the Emperor make up for a lot of bad plot point. And I remember enjoying the Ewoks as a kid. And I still think the lightsabre fights in ESB and ROTJ are the best. maybe not technically, but certainly dramatically. The PT ones have too little of that.
For me AOTC begins to pick up when Dooku appears. Finally something's at stake again. Something completely lacking from the PT until then and something so very present in all OT films. I still feel AOTC shoudl have opened with something like Dooku arriving on Geonosis (like the OT ones did: tehy always started with the baddies) to check on his grand battle droid army. It would have hovered over the entire film as an impending thread without loosing the effect of the viewer being pushed into the same scheme the Jedi Council is. But that's just me I guess.
And yes, EPIII DOES have a lot to live up to.
