The editors at Entertainment Weekly must have been quite upset ROTS is the year's domestic box office champ. As per usual they took the opportunity to find the dark lining or at least make it up when it came to ROTS's success.  This is what it had to say:

Director George Lucas' Revenge of the Sith is released, garnering a record four-day take of $158.4 million. Eventually the movie will make $380 million thanks to the sheer number of SW fans who have waited 28 years to find out what turned Anakin to the dark side. For 10 bucks they finally get the anticlimactic answer - some old dude made him paranoid and he fell into lava - as well as the uneasy sensation that someone just threw their childhood into a wheat thresher.

This was accompanied by a tacky cartoon of GL holding a limp lightsaber.

Entertainment Weekly has made no secret out of how it has tried to have it both ways with SW fandom, by doing multiple covers and what-have-you to get our money and then using every bit of space and ink trashing it.  This has gone on for years, dating back at least to the Special Editions and progressively getting worse with the prequels.  Then the gloves really came off in its May 20 issue with a bitter, negative article that even accused the little kid thanking GL at Celebration III of being staged.  Pablo Hidalgo mentions it in his starwars.com blog here:

Lucasfilm seemed to have caught on to EW's shenanigans by not granting EW an interview with GL as they have before and judging by the timing of EW's review of ROTS, I don't think EW's critic got to attend any of the press advance screenings. 

Trying to create the false impression that 1) only fans made ROTS a success and 2) everyone is running around thinking their childhoods had been raped is bad enough.  I know not everybody has to like SW.  But the cartoon is one of the lowest, cheapest blows I'd seen against any public figure and no halfway responsible publication should have run it.  I quit buying EW more than three years ago.  This disgusting personal attack on Lucas pretty much ensures EW won't get my money for the duration of its existence or mine, whichever's shorter, regardless of who or what is in a particular issue.
