I feel bad for you guys here that didn't enjoy it. Yeah, it was a bit of a throwback for nostalgia sake, but compared to the horrid prequels, it was definitely a step in the right direction.

I found the characters to be warm and interesting compared to the wooden Anakin from 2 & 3, and they had a real sincerity to them too.

I want to see it again before making final judgment on where it ranks amongst the previous 6 films.

Don't feel bad. It makes it easier for me to ignore it canon wise like this. A half decent movie would have been way worse.

Still haven't seen it (though I will this week).  Overall from fans it seems mostly positive or completely negative from my friends at least. Interesting how divided the reviews are from people I know.

Outside of the prequels, it was still a good film. Definitely sits alongside the original trilogy in my opinion.

For those yet to see it. Go in with no expectations, and you may be pleasantly surprised. I sure was

I loved it. Can't wait to see it again. I rank it above Episode lV: A New Hope and the list would be the following so far. Empire, Jedi, Force, New Hope, Sith, Phantom, and lastly Clones. This ranking could change over time. The new cast was really enjoyable and charming to watch. Bring on Episode 8, baby!

I really like the prequels. Not just because I grew up with them as a kid. I just think like many others, looking back at those movies, they needed a script polish or a collaborator to work with Lucas that saw eye to eye with him and who could also say "no" to him at the same time. He needed a dialogue and character development guy for a screen writer. Other than besides a little more story structure, they are enjoyable movies in their own ways. Especially Revenge of the Sith which has some amazing scenes. I just don't care much for Attack of the Clones though.

I could see that. That's cool.
