I was slightly disappointed by it, but much more impressed by it than I was the prequels.<p>On balance, it's not much worse than a chapter of the original trilogy. It's meant to be a modern version of a pulp serial and it does work as that. While it does repeat a number of themes and elements from the OT (perhaps too closely for fans of it,) I think it succeeds in expanding upon those in a way the originals weren't capable of.
