Revenge of the Sith actually caused me to like anakin as a character. the whole time i was wanting him to stay good.who would have thought a prequel could do that
Overall, the effect ROTS had one me after it finished was that I lost respect for every SW character. But it may not be their fault, maybe it has a lot more to do with no story or the fact they have nothing to do.
The biggest disappointment for me was that you know nothing more about Obi Wan, his origins and motivations than after watching the original trilogy. I think Ewan McGregor was a good choice, but he had nothing to do. This is seen big time with the character of Count Dooku, played by Christopher Lee. His entire career led up to this kind of character, and he wasn't given anything to work with. Since Dooku knew that Obi Wan was taught by Qui Gon, his former Padawan learner, you'd think that the dialoge they had in AOTC would have been deeper and more profound. If the bond between master and learner was strong and unique, then Dooku could have picked up on Qui Gon's transformation after being killed and moving onto a unique manner in the force, but this wasn't done. Darth still has a connection on the Death Star with Obi Wan that you just can't write off to the hate aspect.
R2 sums up what GL did to muck up another decent character.Instead of being a mechanical character with more heart than many human counterparts in the original trilogy, he's a souped up Leatherman tool in the PT. Its a parody of the old Batman TV series where Adam West just happens to have the right tool needed for that situation hanging off his utility belt at the given moment.
