Great story!!!

I was really impressed with the storytelling in this episode. The acting was much better as you actually felt so much more for the characters than the previous two.
The special effects were awesome as always. From start to end, this movie went along with blinding pace and even when it ended, I was sitting back begging for more.
I went home and immediately watched Episode IV. You understand the connection between Obi Wan and Anakin/Darth Vader so much better now and the latter movies mean so much more with this background.
All the loose ends were tied up nicely. C3PO got mind wiped. The clones were hard coded to wipe out the jedi when issued with a special code command.
The climatic fight scene with Obi Wan and Anakin lived up and actually exceeded expectations for me. It was brutal at parts but you really felt for the characters. I had a lump in my throat when Obi Wan screams out "You were the chosen one!" The fight scene with Darth Sidius and Yoda was equally enthralling. I was really upset to see Yoda lose but I guess it had to be that way. If only there was a way for him to wipe off that smile from the Emperors face with his light-saber! The action sequences were truly spectacular! When they flew through the war in space it was absolutely breath taking.
The placing of Anakin into the Vader suite was done really well. It was really sad to see Anakin fall the way he did.
That for me was the main difference with this movie. You felt so much more for the characters. It really broke my heart to see things play out the way they did.
The relevance of the movies for us today is amazing. There are so many good lessons to be taken out of this one.
The force is well and truly with Episode III! Well done George!
