Now here me out. When ESB came out, it defied the odds. In movies a sequel is always inferior to the original. But ESB was such a great movie, and still is the best in the series today, that every movie after that is expected to be up to that standards. Unfortunately that is a tough act to follow. Now, every Star Wars movie since 1980, people say this is the one that will be as good as ESB, or it is a good movie but not nearly as good as ESB.
I just think when you make 6 movies for a series, it is tough to make 6 great movies. True, the prequels could have been better, but I still have enjoyed them. But what I did for episode III that I didn't do for Episode I & II is go in thinking this movie may not be as good as ESB, and would be happy if it ranks #3 for all Star Wars movies. After seeing ROTS, my expectations were met. I loved the movie, but it is nowhere near as good as ANH or ESB, but thats fine with me, because I wasn't expecting that.
