For some reason, it seems longer, but not in a bad way. Basically no matter what, seeing the mask drop down and the breathing start pretty much is something I will always remember and always wanted to see. The movie was still pretty good and easily the best of the prequels which it needed to be.I grew up with the originals and it was nice to see a "continuation" of the series, but I wasn't sad when the prequels ended because I already had an ending with ROTJ.
