Just got back from RotS. Wow... this totally redeems the PT.

I was literally bouncing when I heard the line "Lock S-foils in attack position." I wanted to know who was flying that ship. Even though it was a clone, I wanted to hear his story. In short, the magic was back.

The interactions between Anakin and Obi-Wan before everything goes to hell... WOW. I loved their dynamic, their banter. For the first time since the Prequels started, I actually CARED about these people.

I really enjoyed seeing Bail Organa in a big role.

When ANakin beheaded Dooku, I gasped.

The Jedi purge scene... watching them all be slaughtered one by one. I couldn't believe I was watching it.

I LOVED Padme's line about "So this is how democracy dies. To thunderous applause."

Chewie giving Yoda a piggyback was cute among all the carnage. He was definitely the only OT character they could have brought into this movie without it being STUPID.

Obi-Wan calling Anakin his brother... *whimper* And then the little moment where he picks up the lightsaber.

Yoda's duel with Palpatine was really snazzy. And then him realizing he has failed...

I'm glad Padme got to name the twins. Though I'm not sure how Leia can remember her real mother. :p

Padme's funeral was SO SAD. I really liked the scene where Bail, Yoda and Obi-Wan are all discussing what to do with the twins, and Bail says he'll take Leia because he and his wife wanted a baby girl.

It was cool seeing Anakin in the suit. Though his "NOooooooooooooooooooooooo!" was definitely the low point of the movie.

I absolutely adored the ending. The droids getting handed over to Captain Antilles (with the all important order to wipe Threepio's memory :p). Bail and Mrs. Bail sitting on Alderaan, holding Leia while her theme plays. And then it switches to Tatooine, with Beru carrying Luke up to the ridge where he'll stare at the sunset in 18 years, with the same music playing and standing by Owen to gaze out at the same sunset. Really powerful ending.

Didn't like the Death Star being started though. :p

Sometimes the dialogue was cheesy, but this prequel, I actually enjoyed. Even... loved.
