I love you all *no homo*

Only a Sith deals in absolutes

Right, and I understand that, but those look to be completely identical, is all I was pointing out.

A lot of people hate it from my experience

I've seen SS get more shit than any other title in the series.
I totally forgot to mention though, what I think is (by far) the biggest flaw with SS, and it's a big one, is Fi's constant tutorial.
It's like a more interruptive Navi who tries to explain shit before you've even started trying them.
Should you choose to ignore her, the few times you have the choice to, that is, she'll just keep blinking and making noises until you stop doing so.
Midna for best sidekick, but that might be my S&M side showing. Part of the admiration is of course that Midna is an anagram for Admin.

You enjoyed Ep. III because it had the most of Ian McDiarmid, arguably the best actor in the prequels (Liam Neeson not withstanding)

Oh, and there's Ewan McGregor's monologue after the duel which was well acted.

But otherwise you really have to deactivate your brain to enjoy that movie

Yes, they are just as bad.

They're badly written & badly directed, with some really cringe-worthy acting ("Ani... you're breaking my heart!" for instance)

Yeah, aside from some bad acting and writing, episode three is actually really good. Best story out of the three and the climax was fantastic. It also didn't suffer from the terrible pacing issues of episode 1 and 2.
