I haven't seen this yet but quite a few reviewers are actually saying that this is the best of the new three. George Lucas has already stated in interviews that he never originally intended to create episodes 1, 2 & 3 and only wrote a backstory to flesh out the characters of the original trilogy.
Perhaps only now, we are seeing why he should probably have left things as they were...but then again, Lucas is well known for his incessant tinkering.
