PunkRockFish, I think somewhere deep down you must really either:
A. like the movie a lot, or
B. be a total Staw Wars geek (like me)
TO see it three times but say it was bad sounds like you love the movies and just wanted something more, something new. The Wachowski brothers (producers of the "Matrices") really raised the bar for all Sci-Fi movies, and it is just really hard to compete. But of all people capable of competing, Lucas should be high on the list, like top of the list. I'm going to see it this weekend with the guys in the youth group, so it will be interesting to see how 16 year olds perceive the movie as I am twice their age and grew up with SW toys and lunch boxes and such. I was contemplating being one of the confident SW geeks and putting on my jedi outfit and seeing it opening night, but,....
PS: It's not a real jedi outfit, what do you think I'm some kind of freak or something? Who in the hell would actually own a jedi outfit?! It's a black ninja suit that looks close to what the jedi wear, minus the tabi boots of course............................
PSS: Doesn't everybody own a ninja suit?!
