I know this is over, but I just saw it and wanted to rub it in.
Take your big bad Sauron (only seen for a few seconds on a battlefield and then getting his finger cut off, unless you count an image of his eye that was a shameless copy of the cartoon and not at all how I envisioned it when I first read the books) and all the gay little hobbits laughing and jumping around, michael-jacksonesque on the bed with their gay wizard, and compare it to the greatest opening in the history of moviemaking, as the Star Destroyer takes over the whole screen chasing the rebel ship. This is followed by Vader walking calmly through the blaster-singed air, and the dialogue I will always remember, because I played it over and over again on my Fisher-Price record player:
-Gasp-
"a diplomatic mission"
-Wheeze, Gasp-
"If this is a consular ship, wheeeere is the ambassador?
-Choke, Crunch-
"Commander tear this ship apart until you've found those plans, and bring me the passengers, I want them alive!"
