Very sad and wasted episode

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2019)

I had only seen this episode once, long ago.. it left me with a bad feeling inside. So I decided to watch it again and I now know why I had these feelings.
This episode was ridiculous in my opinion and just way out of control.
Far too many characters and beings. At what point is it way over the top. Here it is.
The first hour and a half was boring and lacked anything to draw you in. The last 30 minutes was exciting and intense, but ruined the series for me and when it ended I was pissed.
Anakin was destroyed by the writing. He died a cruel and wasted death.
In Phantom we had this cute little boy that only helped people. He was good, very good. He gave freely and expected nothing in return.
In this pathetic episode he was set-up by the Jedi's to fail. At every step they shut him down. At every turn they smashed his hopes. Samual L Jackson's character clearly hated Anakin. It was blatant. I was happy to see him die. I wish he was not even in the series.
I felt for Anakin at every step. And the final battle was pathetic and took away from all the previous episodes. Obiwan should have helped Anakin or killed him. Leaving him as he did was heartless and cruel. I hated this part with a passion. Warriors battle each other, they don't torture each other and walk away. This was very very poor.
I loved Obiwan in all the movies but the writers made him just as bad as anyone in the end.
The highest tech they had back then was Obiwan riding on a lizards back chasing a human robot on a high tech wheel machine. Seriously??? WTF.
The droid army was a joke. A Jedi could wipe out hundreds by themselves with nothing but a light saber??? Ridiculous.
My complaints are long. The characters were stupid for the most part. Many of the evil leaders were ridiculous aliens that were clueless and cowards. Yet a Jedi or two could infiltrate them and wipe them out easily. Far too unrealistic.
And in the final battle Anakin and Obiwan are riding in melting steel on a lava flow??? Did they not have a clue about the amount of heat that was there? The toxic gases? Both would have melted in seconds. Poof! Gone. But not in this episode.
I just thought this entire episode was childish and the end just plain cruel to its star.
I will never watch it again, or any Star Wars episode for that manner. It's ran it's course in my life and now is just a poor excuse to make money.
What started out as an epic adventure and something new in Hollywood for once turned back to its pathetic roots and nothing but a madman writing a ridiculous script to make more money for his franchise.
Rest In Peace Anakin. Your we're screwed.
