Lucas: you are forgiven. Though the taint of ep 1 and 2 still mars this one somewhat, it was almost (almost) 100% completely awesome, and to finally get closure on the Star Wars legends from my youth is comforting in a quiet, sad way. I will never anticipate another film like I did the prequels (despite the fact that they were letdowns). Most significantly: I will never see another new Star Wars movie. And that makes me kinda sad.
Unless...
He is somehow convinced to make episodes 7-9, which should be based on the Timothy Zahn "Last Command" books, IMO. They are excellent if you haven't read them, and would translate well to the screen.
