Mainly I felt too little too late. Such as the idea of Obi-Wan thinking of Anakin as a brother, or that II and III just seem like bookends to the animated series "Clone Wars". That it feels like there's a film in between III and IV. And who cares if the Chancellor gets kidnapped? Still highlights for me was noticing that Vader got his cape before he caught his life saving breathing mask, and The Simpson's like "Noooooo!!!!!" The last words of the trilogy go to 3PO "Oh No" Indeed! Okay, so I'm joking here, but I got so much fun. Bits I thought were divine and perhaps the most beuatiful scene of all six films: Anakin and Padme on opposite sides of Corruscent, making a choice, cutting off Wind's hand (and effectively killing him)and in horror at what he had done, but then the scene fails to run with the confused emotion.

I was half-expecting him to put his hands on his labels on look, statesmanlike, into the distance. Actually, yes, and I’d forgotten, but I remember sitting there and thinking exactly the same thing.

Maybe I'm just obsessed but the way he talks of the Jedi machination's definitely rang Jim Hacker bells.
