I seem to be the minority on this one, but I was a bit disappointed. I am a HUGE Star Wars fan from way back, and this one left me flat. No real character development (Yes, I know it is a stand-alone movie) and lots of things that, as a fan, I would have done differently. And as much as I hate to say this, there was too much Vader. I think he should have only been in the last scene he appeared in, and left out the others. It would have had more impact. But Hey, that's just my opinion.
Now the sets and ships were fantastic, and the action was totally badass. Also, it is certainly cool that Peter Cushing can star in a movie 20 years after his death. I liked it, it just wasn't what I expected or wanted from such a pivotal time in the SW story.
So...that and $1.75 will get you a Coke.
