Saw the midnight showing of Sith on Wed. night. I love going to these things. There's a sense of bridled excitement and anticipation that runs through the lines and the crowd as the moment we've all been waiting for careens toward us. Lots of laughter, games, and hunching over laptops displaying prior episodes. It's really a quite exhilarating environment.
Several Darth Vaders showed up, one clearly superiour to all the other. The crowd went batty with cheers as he shook his fist (as Darth Vader was known to do) at the faithful Jedi. That's nothing, though, compared to the show put on at this showing: =)
Now that the saga is ostensibly complete, here's my take:
Episode I < Episode II < Episode III < Episode IV < Episode V < Episode VI.
