I would certainly call Phantom the best of the trilogy.

This is fascinating to me; a bit like the response to Riot Act (or to a lesser extend Backspacer). I remember everyone thinking each successive film was sort of better than the previous. That has certain changed. I haven't watched any of them since RotS in theaters, so it's possible that my opinion has changed significantly. But I don't remember any of them being as bad as my memory of Phantom Menace.

It's a bit like saying "what's the difference between a 12% on RT and a 10% on RT?" But Phantom Menace had about 35 fewer minutes worth of walk and talk sequences, no vine swingin saber fights, and no George Lucas attempts to be romantic. Plus it had the only moment in the whole series that felt like it had anything resembling an emotional payoff of any kind. Plus when it sucked it was like a sucky kids movie, and a sucky kids movie is less offensive to me than the sucky adult movies the other two were.

Each of those films have elements that could have been honed and tuned up to make a great film. That obviously didn't happen.

Revenge of the sith is the best Star Wars film of the three.

All of this seems totally valid as I think back on the movie.
