I can back that up. Second act is horrendous. Nearly killed the movie for me, but the third act made it the best SW prequel we've had.

It's also better than The Force Awakens, it told an original story that was tightly interwoven with the prominent beats of the mythology. This is how you repurpose New Hope for the next generation and get away with it Abrams.

Spoiler:

Expect a lot of CGI Peter Cushing. More than what I thought I'd be getting...they use the same methods on Carrie Fisher at the end

And yes, Vader's scenes are WELL worth the price of admission. You will not believe how

Spoiler:

close he is to succeeding. It's sheer luck that gives us hope in the end
