<<Ultimately, that's what it should be about, not Question Time in the

(which is boring no matter what fancy pants they're wearing). Good vs.
evil
is something everyone understands. I understood it in Star Wars, I didn't
even come near in P.M. and I'm sure any five year old wouldn't have.

Well, that, to me, is the biggest fault of PM.  But I kinda see it as a
necessary fault.  I guess part of me sees the first three movies as being
"the real story" and what we're seeing now as a prelude of sorts. 
Setting the stage.  We don't see the good vs. evil conflict here, what we
see are the means by which evil gained such a strong foothold. So I
wasn't too disappointed by the, well, Plot.  

I love calling Star Wars the world's greatest B movie, though :)
