If Lucas hits a grandslam with Episode III, is all forgiven?

I mean, Ep1 had interesting concepts like the pod races (it was cool to see em blow up, looked good, stylish) also, it had absolutely awesome lightsaber battles. I mean shit, Darth Maul vs the Jedis was intense as fuck. Also, it was visually superior to Ep2.
Of course the writing and direction was absolute garbage, whether you're talking about the inane dialouge or moronic plot, but Ep2 matches it and goes further in this aspect completely. Ep1 had obtuse and grinding dialouge, but nothing spectacularly moronic like "god I hate the sand, you're so nice and un-sandy, padme."
Then Ep2 didn't have any cool lightsaber battles, visually, it totally didn't look like a StarWars film. I mean, Ep1 was "pretty" and cartoony and lost a lot of that grungyness that gave the original trilogy such great flavor, yet it retained a simular palette, but Ep2 didn't have it at all. In fact, Ep2 was positively ugly. The character design was bloody stupid, the Kamino and their buildings were very generic and uninspired (those chairs they had were like something funky you'd buy at ikea, and the whole "heavily styled silvers and whites" theme is as old as dust) and you know that blue creature in the genosis pit? God I swear they ripped off the lurker from BroodWars.
So yeah, I just don't see it - what's up dudes?
