Re: Dragged the wife to the midnight screening....should have slept

Actually many of the objections to Lucas' script-writing abilities could have been raised about the first film. I remember seeing an interview with Carrie Fisher where she complained about how difficult it was to deliver some of the lines without breaking up into inappropriate laughter.

Clunky as some of the dialog was, at least the original told the story through the characters who by accident or by dint of the personalities of the actors portraying them, were people whom we could relate to.

There was no relationship between the characters that was apparent in TPM, and the story did not appear to be told through the characters. They were just kind of "there."

The special effects in the original were spectacular, compared to what had been seen before; and the film overwhelmed and delighted audiences with the richness of its inventiveness -- the creatures, the droids, etc.

While TPM showed effects on a level they were not impressive in their inventiveness -- they were impressive in that they showed it was possible to produce effects previously available only in cartoons and to replicate digitally scenes that took thousands of extras in the heyday of the Hollywood spectaculars like Ben-Hur and Spartacus.
