I have no idea why people don't like this!

See, I loved this movie. I thought that it was the best out of all of them...much better than episode 6 (only my opinion). I must say that I wasn't a fan until recently. My brother showed me the movies on Christmas one year and since then, I have LOVED all of them, so maybe my opinion is not worth more than a "true" fan-aka one who saw the originals in the theater and all. But let me say-this movie ROCKED!!! First off, those action scenes were fabulous. Lucas tops any director in the area of special effects-no doubt. Always has, always will. But it's not just that. True, once in a while, there was a moment of bad acting or cheesy dialogue, but the movie wouldn't be a Star Wars movie without that. And the wipes, as "annoying" as they were, also made the style of the Star Wars movie. It made a tie between the old and the new. And speaking of ties, everything in ROTS made perfect sense to go into A New Hope. *SEMI-SPOILER* When Obi-Wan picks up Anakin's lightsaber at the end, I almost screamed, because I had suddenly remembered that Luke got his father's lightsaber from Obi-Wan. This movie was poignant in all aspects. It created a sense of longing to change the series, which all true tragedies do. At points, you laughed, you cried (I almost started sobbing in one sequence, but I won't say which one...) you cheered and you begged for one little thing to change. When I left this movie, I wished that it didn't have to end this way-and then I remembered that it didn't. Make sure you have episodes IV-VI with you after this movie. You're going to need to watch them. I don't truly understand why people don't like this movie. For me, it was the perfect ending to a saga 28 years in the making...
