I just feel like communicating. :-)
I expected to cry during Star Wars 3. A tale of love, lust and betrayal. I wanted to cry. I wanted to feel the angst. I wanted to hurt for Obi as his heart was broken. I wanted to feel for Padme as her husband changed. I wanted to even feel for Annarkin. Hey, unlimited power has always been high on my list of "Wants." But some prices you never want to pay. :-)
Unfortunately, everything was kind of so drawn out that I didn't cry. I felt some emotion. But not enough. I wanted to hurt, dammit! I wanted to feel as Yoda and the other masters felt each of their council being cut down, the Force weakening as each soul died. I wanted to wail as Obi screamed "You were supposed to be the Chosen One!" I wanted to sob uncontrollably as ... well, any of the above mentioned moments. But the fight with Annarkin and Obi just went on and on. I liked the fight, it was fantastic, but for emotional angst it did nothing. I do like lots of nice violence in my movies though. Yoda was almost enough... why was he the only "Master" who appeared to feel the loss of his Council? I would have thought a council of Jedi Masters would have been a bit more... in tune... and the looks of horror and betrayal as they died one by one... well, I would have liked that. Max the hurt, baby, I want them to die... And Padme... yeah. I feel for Natalie Portman. She's done so much better, can do so much better, but I bet this might be the role that she gets remembered for for the rest of her life.
Oh, and snipe - I love the way how Annarkin thought his wife, who had dedicated her time in senate to keeping the Republic alive would just LOOOOOOOVE the idea of an Empire. Is this a boy thing? Oh, yeah, and if *MY* husband came back to me after killing children, he'd better not sleep ever again. I might have the urge to cook and slip with a knife. At three in the morning. Or something. I can get creative. Especially with kitchen utensils.
Anyway, kind of hyped for today. Bounce. Tired, bouncey, excited... I had better take along some panadol. *grin*
Er. Lost the panadol. Ah. Mmmm.
:-)

I really felt for Obi-wan, particularly when he and Yoda were divving up who got sent to kill who (aside: why didn't they both go after each in turn??), but like you said, was never moved to tears. (And hey; I cry watching babalon five!)
I did like the scene when Vaders first words from under the helmet were concern for Padme. Jeanette noticed that Palpatine had a particularly smug grin, but I was too busy being torn between sympathy and schadenfreude over Vaders angst :)
Is this a boy thing?
Not this boy!

I like unbelievable stuff. I mean, I've never heard George Lucas say "So anyway, I wanted Star Wars to be totally realistic, I have Ewoks living next door and everything."
*grins*
And from the pics I've seen, Anakin "on the turn" looks pretty hot. There's something about a mean streak which appeals to me.

Mind you, despite my first sentence, they are all ridiculous! *giggle*
Definately the best of 1,2 and 3.
