sheer bliss.

I remember refusing to see Star Wars when it was first released because it was so hyped up. Fortunately I came to my senses and my brother persuaded me to go see it. I adored it! and can remember going to bed that night and singing the theme tune whilst jumping over all the furniture in my room. Read the books to the second and third and saw the films on tv. Both quite good, but for me didn't nearly approach the excitement I felt watching the first.
Saw episode 1 last year on tv, and quite enjoyed it, my son who's 5 loved it and we took him to see 'attack of the clones' last week - it was fantastic. I loved it. It captured the essence of the original, and where I always felt the sequels and prequel lost their way a little, this didn't. It had all the action and effects you'd expect, the relationship growing between Obi wan and Anakin and even a bit of romance...I hadn't read any of the reviews or preamble so wasn't aware of it beforehand.
If the 3rd installment is anything like this then I anticipate it being a damn good film.
