Overall, I really loved it. Sure, I had some petty grievances, but I think it answered all the questions I had as to how we got to EpIV
One thing that did bother me that no one has mentioned yet is Spoiler: Padme's strength as a character was completely stripped away in this film. She was never as fiesty as Leia, but she was a former queen who didn't mind picking up a pistol and getting into the action. In EpIII, she was reduced to a worrying, hand-ringing, timid creature. The majority of her screen time involved her looking worriedly out the window. What happened to the strong leader and champion of democracy that we met in the first two prequels?
Also: Spoiler: In EpIV, Obi-Wan gives Luke his father's light saber, telling him "Your father wanted you to have this, when you were old enough". In EpIII, we see Obi-Wan leave Anakin for dead in the lava pits, taking his light saber with him. I think it would have been more poignant to the original series had there been a scene with Obi-Wan and Anakin (pre dark side) where Anakin made this wish known. Small point, but all the same....
