I will concede that Lucas still can't write a good "normal" personal dialog between characters (even with the additional help in the screenwriting process), but I DID feel the akwardness of first love and the temptation of choice there that a person in Anakin's position must have (the whole Jedi for life/ Senator duties thing, etc.).Maybe I'm a hopless romantic, but I remember being 17 or 18 and feeling so tongue tied with my first love that I occasionally spouted out hoaky cheesy one-liners in an attempt to woo/convince/get lucky/whatever.
I just saw the film for a second time last night, just to verify my own feelings about everything I've felt about it. I am happy to say that I still get the fellings of excitement of all appropriate things within the film. Also, the sadness, happiness and tension where applicable.
IMHO, the best he's done so far.
