Save your money, wait for cable.

Where do I begin? A complete let down, just like the other two. Although I do have to admit that of the three, this is the best one. However that really is not saying much. There was no need for the Wookiee's to scream the Tarzan yell. R2D2 getting a fight scene? Had George Lucas really run out of idea's that he had to give R2D2 a fight scene? And no star wars prequel would be complete with out the cheesy dialog. And for the CGI, well we all know how off and poorly done the last two movies were, the same applies here, and it especially shows when they are on the Lava Planet. You get pumped that they are finally bringing in the Wookiee's. Who just like Darth Maul, have a total of 10 minute screen time...if that. And how about in Epidsode 2 where George sets it up that Boba Fett was going to be the one to kill Mace, after he witnessed Mace beheading his father. And absolutely no Boba Fett! Never mind Boba Fett, how about the fact that there were no Mandalorian Soldiers in the movie at all?! I would like to know why there is an animated movie that you need to watch before Episode 3 so that you understand the General Grievous story? There was never an animated movie to connect Empire and Jedi. And Padme goes from telling Anakin that she is pregnant to practically full term in the next scene. Speaking of Padme, another scene that clearly shows that Mr. Lucas ran out of ideas, Padme died because she lost the will to live due to a broken heart. Give me a break! Fans did not wait over 30 years for this stupid lame excuse of a death scene as to why Luke and Leia's mother had died. Another example of the horrible script writing was the lack of thought put into the reason the Emperor now looks the way he does. Although I do have to give credit to the light saber and space battle scenes. At least you didn't blink and they were over, they actually almost held a candle to the originals. The only part of the movie that I enjoyed watching was the transformation of Anakin into Darth Vader, which isn't until the last 45 minutes of the movie. I felt that this movie was a total let down, and I hope that George does not get the bright idea to do Epidsoes 7, 8, and 9. I want my money back!
