I suppose i'll post a fucking reply as well as I wasted everyone's time in the first place.

1. I liked Episode III a lot. Yeah, thought the other two prequels were 'ok', but certainly nothing important in my life. Episode III I saw at midnight, it was a blast even though I was spoiled on the movie 95% of the way. Certain parts were beautifully executed (0rder 66, opening scene, most Palpatine stuff) and then there were the plot holes of the saga and ignorant bits of dialogue I wouldn't touch with a pole. Elsewhere on the community, I saw people lamenting about the lack of the Lars couple, and I must agree. Then there was the case of introducing Tarkin, the Mon Mothma, the Eary Rebellion, and perhaps satisfying Imps with cameos of their favourite officers. Did we get that? Of course not. Lucas had the chance to make a 3+ hour film that did the saga justice and firmly tie both trilogies together and he wasted it. We could have seen the REAL announcement of the Empire, the terror, the greatness, etc. Instead we were treated to back and forth Anakin killing the Separatists, and then the announcing the Empire with corny dialogue from Padme.

The word Moff was not introduced in this film, the council of Governors/Moffs wasn't shown in their first, historic session..

So Lucas instead gave us new characters that were useless (Grievous, Utapuans) I could personally give a fuck less about. I hate Padme, her acting is atrocious. The love scene dialogue was pure rubbish as usual.

Other than my usual longwinded griping, it was good. I’ll pick it up on DVD.

2. Originals. They’re the ones getting edited (usually raped) the most.

3. Haha. Gee I wonder. Piett, Admiral Piett, Admiral Firmus Piett, PiettCo™. Uh, 2nd is usually General Veers, 3rd is usually Moff Jerjerrod. The ranking of the three differs daily; I’m just going by the average status. Piett has withstood the test of 13-14 years because…I don’t know. All I know is when I went to an electronics store when I was 5 or 6; ROTJ was usually playing on one of the big screen televisions. And guess which scene was always playing? ”Hold Here.” “You mean we’re not going to attack?” I have my orders from the Emperor himself; he has something special planned for them. We only need to keep them from escaping.” This scene seemed much longer back in the day. Cut scenes or odd children’s memory, anyone?

Piett is the man. He spewed out insults about Bounty Hunters when the galaxy’s most feared were standing right next to him. I cannot explain how much I indebted to his character. He’s more of a god than “God” to me. Oh, I don’t mean the actor. I worship characters only, although Kenneth Colley is one of the best actors of all time, easily. =) (SEE MY ICON YOU FUCKERS! HE SLAPS! HE SLAPS!)

4. Boba Fett is a long story with me. When I watched the trilogy for the first time (around 1996) all the way through, he was my favourite character. That lasted until I watched Return of the Jedi. Then the Piett took over and Boba Fett was scum. Also, I think the prequels raped his character even more, verily.

5. Not really.
