However, you should still get one for all the good movies; in "Buffy" vernacular, tape is just so over!BTW, I agree once again with your opinion and have said basicly the same thing to friends who waited in long lines as I did to see it (i.e., that Lucas has one more shot at satisfying the Star Wars fans)! As we quietly exitted the theater a couple of our friends even tried to convince themselves that it was a good film, excusing their disappointment with the idea that they'd probably become jaded to the whole Star Wars series, which I told them is nonsense. Uninteresting and obnoxious characters in a weak plot that you could drive an Imperial cruiser through was the reason for their disappointment and mine! I even considered, momentarily, returning to the ticket booth and demanding my money back, which is something I'd only done once before, but decided to give Lucas [in the tradition of P.T. Barnum] some credit for suckering me into the theater.
All I can add is that Episode II had better be a lot more fun or it's adios muchacho for "Star Woes" from Audiophilander.
