My brother just called me at 12:01 am my time to tell me something very simple about the 3rd episode of StarWars - "don't watch it."
He warned me if I thought the end of the destruction of the StarWars universe happened at the end of the mitocloreans (spelling?) explanation or Joda fighting, then I haven't seen the end of it just yet.
Of course, unfortunately, I am going to have to watch it- if only to be able to talk about it and special F/X.
God, I'm so glad I didn't see the SW films until much later in life, so I don't care what Lucas does with the prequels.
FWIW, nearly all the feedback I've seen so far has been overwhelmingly positive. It's also doing quite well on rotten tomatoes:

On the other hand, this makes it so that people who want to trash the movie have to really work hard for it. Try the New Yorker piece for some really classic hating:

"Break me a fucking give." Pure genius.
