    Revenge of the Sith is very underrated. Top 3 in the franchise at worst.

    Nonsense. It was shit.

    As a stand alone film it was entertaining (with the high speed lightsaber battles on the Volcano planet as well as Yoda vs Sidious) but in the context of the Star Wars story it was awful.

    Anakin was NOTHING like the Darth Vader we grew up with. He was a whiny little punk, whereas Darth Vader was a true leader of men with charisma and gravitas.
    In the original backstory, Vader helped the Empire hunt down the Jedi after a slow seduction to the dark side. In Sith, he changed to the Dark side on a dime after being told he could bring people back from the dead and then proceeded to slaughter "baby" Jedi. The Jedi were killed by the clones...and not hunted down by Vader...as was originally implied.

    Gee, Sly, you were not paying attention to the prequels plot. Anakin's descend to the Dark Side was indeed slow and started as a teen in Attack of the Clones first with his un-Jedi-like obsession with Padme, then the revenge he took on the Tusken Raiders tribe after the death of his mom where he wiped out all of them, even the children; his resentment toward Obi Wan for continually 'holding me back'. By the time of 'Revenge of the Sith' even Yoda & Mace Windu had deep concerns about Anakin and him being so close to Chancellor Palpatime. His descend was slow, took years and finally his emotion betrayed him.

    Did you missed the scene where Vader/Anakin goes to the Jedi Temple accompanied by a platoon of stormtroopers to wipe out the Jedis there? it wasn't only younglings there, you know. Plus I am sure that after he got into the mask & helmet he might have been chasing more fugitive Jedis fthrough out the galaxy (which could make a GREAT stand alone film!!!)

    To each his own. If you liked it...all power to you.

    It was a slow seduction to the dark side, masterfully done by Palpatine! Palpatine is the best thing out of the prequels!

    Revenge Of The Sith definitely wasn't shit...and that's saying something coming from Professor Magus.

    The first two, The Phantom Menace and Attack Of The Clones I'd rate as 4/10 and 5/10 respectively.
    (5 being classed as 'Average')

    No, all three were definitely shit. Although I'll give you that RotS was maybe slightly less shit than the first two, but was still...shit.

    Funny enough...I prefer Phantom Menace to ROTS. Phantom Menace is my favourite of the prequels...even with Jar Jar.

    1. Darth Maul was a kickass character
    2. Qui Gon was a Kickass Character
    3. NO hayden Christensen!

    Make no mistake...I think Phantom Menace was SHIT...but IMO it's slightly less shit that the next two.

    ROTJ and all three prequels are shit films that get by on the strength of the first two. TFA and Rogue One were really good movies. ROTS is the best of the prequels but generally cringe worthy.

    Rogue One sucked. Worst in the franchise.

    I tend to agree. As a stand alone film it's the most convoluted, least re-watchable and the most boring. As part of the Star Wars continuity, however, it's better than the prequels trilogy.

    I´ve watched Rogue One twice now - first time, I hated it and picked out everything I could that they´d ´plagarized´ from the first movie and the characters are so un-memorable, but I ended up giving it 5/10.

    However, like Sly said, its only an ´acceptable´ addition to the original trilogy.

    Yeah, they need to let George Lucas fix it and cgi skin clean all those races into an homogeneous Caucasian race like in the original 1977 film.

    Hollywood would never allow Rey and Finn to be a couple in a film like this. Never!! They'd sooner have Finn and Po be lovers.

    There was a lot of Chemistry between Rey and Finn in TFA, so if Rey gets a lover in this Star Wars series, it should be Finn.

    Finn should have just boned prinses Leia (Carrie Fisher) in TFA.

    It wont be though. Hollywood would never allow its favourite female Jedi to be rammed by some black animal
