As for continuity glitches between the original trilogy and the second trilogy, I forgive them. Since ep 1-3 were just outlines/ideas and not completly written, if that, not everything can be connected. Some things need to be looked past a little in order to enjoy the overall tale.
I really liked this movie, and it made all of the episodes more enjoyable. The more I take it in, the more I see the big picture of the story and the underlying tale that Lucas was telling. I think he told HIS story well.
Regardless of how bitter one wants to get, it's done.
Good or bad, a reaction is a reaction. and even if it made you pick the movies apart, Lucas succeeded with what he wanted out of Star Wars: To make you think.

I agree 100%. Episode III gets BETTER with each viewing, having seen it eight times so far. Lucas has accomplished what no other filmmaker has ever accomplished in creating a film series over such a long period of time. In a slightly different comparison, the "Star Trek" film series has failed miserably. Each "Star Trek" film "stands alone" for the most part, and the last three were simply longer, bigger-budgeted TV episodes on the big screen.
I also compare Episode III to a Shakespeare tragedy--you know what will happen to the tragic hero in the end, but it's still interesting, rivoting and emotional to see how the story unfolds. Well done, George Lucas.
