Rofl, that was by far the funniest part of the movie... my friend and I were just laughing for five minutes straight in a sadistic sort of way.

Quite dissappoint, this movie did. I mean seriously I was expecting to see a cyborg going around slaughtering Jedi in uber swordfights. What I saw would've been much better titled as:

Star Wars Episode III: The Unceremonious Rape of the Jedi

I mean seriously, all that were on assignments just got killed with a few shots. Little display of uber piloting skills; the beginning part was hardly good enough to show that. Saberfights also weren't that great. Yoda vs Palpatine could've been art if half of it wasn't spent throwing seats around, and the other part of it resembled DBZ more than StarWars. Plus so much violence cut out :/ no pictures of decapitation, not enough of other violence either. The lack of footage on the part where anakin meets the kids did sort of make it funnier, but then again, it would've also been funny if that part was done in the 1 vs many 5-year-olds style. Basically, I just found the movie to be shallow, lacking something. Lack of suspense I suppose, I spent more time drawing parallels between Dubya and Palpatine than enjoying the story, the extreme predictability of the story probably contributed to that too.

In SW 4, Ben tells luke:

When your father left, he didn't know your
mother was pregnant. Your mother and I knew
he would find out eventually, but we wanted
to keep you both as safe as possible, for as
long as possible. So I took you to live with
my brother Owen on Tatooine... and your mother
took Leia to live as the daughter of Senator
Organa, on Alderaan.

In SW 5 or 6, not sure, Leia tells Luke:

LUKE
Leia... do you remember your mother? Your
real mother?

LEIA
Just a little bit. She died when I was very
young.

LUKE
What do you remember?

LEIA
Just...images, really. Feelings.

LUKE
Tell me.

LEIA
(a little surprised at his insistence)
She was very beautiful. Kind, but...sad.
(looks up) Why are you asking me all this?

The movie was quite disappointing to me too, it seemed like it was just a quick attempt to glue the old and the new movies together. The acting sucked, the storyline was missing alot of depth. Anakin goes over to the dark side far too easily, REALLY needed alot more depth in that, especially since that basically is the 'what the movie is all about'.

The force is barely even used. Yoda got far too little screentime. Windu died in the most stupidest way ever. So we all expected TONS of special effects, but they were disappointing too.

In movie 2: Dooku > Obi wan + Anakin
In movie 3: Anakin > Dooku > Obi Wan, that all in a pretty convincing way... but in the end Obi Wan convincingly > Anakin? What's up with that BS? T_T;

Aren't Yoda & Palpatine supposed to be superiour? Windu > Palpatine with ease... but Yoda has a hard time fighting Palpatine?

all in all:

The lines about Padme in Episode 4-5-6 are now complete bullshit because of Episode 3 which is very sad.

Smorrie you mention Mace > Sidious...however that isnt true. Sidious was just playing weak to look like the victim to Anakin. Despite what anyone says Sidious got the best of even Yoda. Yoda even admits that he failed after he runs away like a chump

. Worst part of the movie was before Sidious vs Mace when Sidious kills the 3 jedi with basically 1 move each. I mean come on thats just stupid, I could of fought Sidious better than that.

Yeah no shit, it can be reasoned out to make sense, but his conversion is still completely weak. Lucas could've at least done his fans a favor and had Jar Jar get killed along with the jedi...

Well the guy who played Windu said he'd only do it if his death wasn't stupid like the death of pretty much every other fucking jedi. So I guess this is what he gets, at least there is a little irony, as soon as he begins to trust Anakin he gets pwned. Windu is a Jedi Master anyways, Yoda doesn't > him that much. You know it's like how a GM could beat the world champion if given a little advantage by circumstances.

That could be interpreted as Obi Wan bullshitting the guy because he sure as hell wouldn't take in someone who Vader may be searching for.
