Like c3p0 and Vader, Chewy and Yoda never have a scene together.

I saw the movie yesterday and here are my thoughts:

The most important part: I enjoyed Sith, it was entertaining. It works nicely just as a transition piece. Everything that had to happen in this installment, did.

It was not, however, a good film. There were no characters except for Anakin and Obi-wan. Everyone else relied on viewers to provide characterization from previous films which is all right sometimes, but in this case lines were essentially interchangeable between all characters that weren't anakin and obi-wan as long as the switching took place on the same sides (good or evil)

This "movie" was not really a movie but rather a collection of scenes that seemed to rattle off as George Lucas went through the list of things he had to resolve to tie the films (and cartoon) together:

1. Gotta resolve dooko (check)
2. Gotta resolve revelation of palpatine (check)
3. Anakin has to turn completely to dark side (check)...

There was no consistency. He moved from one item on the check list to the next without really working to tie it together. By doing so he did create an entertaining collection but not a film.
