The problem I personally had with Episode 2 was the presentation of the story.
Worse in every way.

[Watch the cutscenes of Episode 1 and 2 and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
There are a few exceptions to this, though.
In some of the cutscenes they seem to have paid for a moving camera and fitting music.]

Episode 1 is sweet though, and the trailers for Episode 3 look nice.

I hope, at least.

And yes, he looks like him.
