Nah not really. Indifference to ROTS is nothing to be tolereated. If you took the words Star Wars of ROTS, I'm sure this mediocre film would have engendered much more critism than it already has. If the most and best that you can say about ROTS is that it is better than the two previous films, then ROTS really is in trouble. Equally, to say it comes near, but not even close, to the original OT, again just damns the film.
Like I said in the review: Sith isn't the OT, and can't hope to be. Nevertheless, it is the closest we have to the OT. It entertains, and incorporates elements of Lucas' original vision, which the other two did not.
Remember--there's no way the prequels can ever be the classic trilogy, or even part of the same universe. Sith at least taps into it, and succeeds on that level if on no other.
