Hey, I'll be delighted if it doesn't suck -- I'm just saying the recent history isn't promising. But I've been wrong before. I wasn't optimistic about Spider-Man 2, which turned out to be the best thing ever.

Tangent: Why must all movies have sequels? The Matrix was complete in itself and needed no followup; from what I've heard of the sequels, they mostly just diminished the original. It seems every movie that's popular enough, no matter how conclusive the ending is (don't get certain people started on Shrek 2), either has a sequel already or has one being planned. I'm just saying if I start hearing about Majority Report, I'm outta here.

Back on topic, I think Revenge of the Sith kicks all possible titular @$$. It just fits so well. The only question is what the Sith are getting revenge for -- is there some past defeat we as moviegoers should know about? (And why couldn't George Lucas have started thinking along these lines sooner? Episode II could have been called The Republic Strikes Out or something, and the AI research community would have been spared....)
