Awful beyond words

Hmm, where to start? I don't want to give away any spoilers, besides, the others who've posted have done a more than adequate job explaining the saga (or Lucas's intents).
This movie was a major disappointment to me. The very clumsy character development (or lack of) and horrible dialog have not been fixed from Episode I. I know Star Wars the original wasn't exactly Shakespeare but it had much better character than the past two. The delivery by all the actors was lacking in any form of personality. You might as well have rendered the characters using computers for all the lack of emotion that they display. The movie itself is very cold for the most part outside of the infamous Yoda light-sabre battle. If only 1/4 the amount of time spent on making the set and rendering the cgi was spent dissecting the (lack of) script and making it work, the movie would have turned out much better. I hope Lucas hires a more able script writer than himself to do the next (and extremely) pivotal one.
