TPM is a kid's movie, but when George Lucas was iasked if he made it specifically a kids movie (becuase of Jar Jar), he said "No." LAter on, when people attacked Jar Jar, he said, "Hey, it's a kid's movie." It's kind of like how he keeps saying "it's basically a silent film", but when interviewed with his sound editors, he said "the sound is half of the movie (Star Wars specifically, not all movies). I wish he'd get his stories straight, he tends to get defensive about his movies. As for the plot twists, I like ya Lance, you seem cool, and it was very imaginative, but it "sucks the big one."
Star Wars: TPM was a good movie. You can't argue that fact. Take away the original trilogy, and people would worhsip TPM. Buuuttt, it feels and looks like TPM was just some elaborate 3dfx demo reel. George was just trying to outdo himself. I mean, look at the progression of the movies: ANH: 1 climactic battle (Yavin IV) ESB: 2 climactic battles (MF escaping TIES, Luke and Vader) ROTJ: 3 (Endor, Endor shield gen, Luke and Vader)
TPM: 4 (Palace, space, lightsabre, Gungans)
TPM is a classic case of trying to be "bigger" and therefore "better" Not just "better"
