I did like Attack of the Clones a lot. I think Lucas shook off most his rust. He realized he needed to dump Jar Jar, and added a bunch of great actors, both well known (Samuel L Jackson, Christopher Lee) and not (the guy who played Jango Fett)Also, I've seen a lot of old serials (Zombies Stratusphere, Masked Marvel, etc, etc). I have yet to see one that actually featured good acting and dialogue. Most are pretty dorky.  And they also cheat. They always end on a cliffhanger, but then in the next episode, things are slightly different, and thus less deadly.</blockquote>
