Episode 3: The Verdict
(No spoilers here)
Generally I very much enjoyed it. Many, many fantastic scenes. There is one rather unfortunate plot inconsistency, and some sections were dramatically underplayed (sections that actually have a massive impact on the entire story, and you almost need to know the novels to get their significance, but I guess that's a reward for die-hard fans), but other than that, I have to say I am very happy with the final chapter.
More when more people have seen it!

Hey everybody - Amidala has twins, Anakin Skywalker turns to the Dark Side and Palpatine is Sidious.
(Fine, so it's a lame and old joke. It's still on topic.)
I will say this, though - and I should've said this last night before I disappeared. The video game has unlockable footage from not only Episode III, but also from Episode IV; specifically the aged Obi-Wan going to face Vader. This is what led me to this realisation:
That particular scene gains a whole new significance once you've seen Episode III. My recommendation to anyone who goes to see Episode III is to go straight home and watch Episode IV again. If anything, Episode III actually makes Episode IV even more of an artwork.
(Sure, okay, an artwork still with the occasional flaw, but who's perfect?)

Maybe they showed a different movie at the cinema I went to.. unless the plot hole you were referring too was the actual plot.. :)
