Maddox sums it up pretty well too.

I think VGcats summed it up pretty well...

Both sum up the problems rather nicely.
Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.

Heh, I know I said I would say nothing more on the movies, but I didn't antisipate Maddox writing something so funny =)
Anyways, I agree with him, the third movie isn't any better than the first two in my opinion. My favourite scenes of the series are probably these:
1) Dath Maul vs. Obi Wan and Quai-gon
2) The Emperor caught and the battle that happened afterwards
3) Count Dooku vs Yoda, Anakin, and Obi-wan (episode 2)
And overall I still think without a shadow of a doubt that the new series is much better overall than the old one. Quite especially just after re-watching the entire old series back to back against Episodes 1, 2, and 3; I do not think that any of the three come close.

Yeah...I was simply pointing out that what Maddox wrote, which "summed it up pretty well," was essentially the same as what I had been saying.SineSwiper wrote:Quoting yourself, A57?
Hence the "ahem".
