I haven't seen the Sith film but going by what I've heard from other quarters the plot line runs as you say and therefore your opinion is certainly a most valid criticism. What I'd also consider missing in the new series is the entire sense of adventure and fun that was present in the previous series (although I contend that they have been ridiculously glorified by fanboys who seem to regard them as a 'way of life' or some such crap)
