Clint;
I was about to slap you upside the head for giving away this movie until I read your prior warning post
Ok lets have at it.
1) You have to realize that Anakin was a derranged love struck teen. He was of the mindset of "If I can't have her, nobody can".
2) Yes the scene where he screemed "Noooo" was very misplaced and not genuine like Kirks "khan" scream. I almost reminded me of Zurg from Toy Story. Plus, couldn't they use a body builder in the Vadar suit? Vadar looked like he was anemic.
3) Do you really think Windu legitimately defeated Siddius? or was Siddius letting him win to ensure Anakin over? BTW, I was really pissed when they killed off Windu. IMO, he was underused in the movie.
4) Yes, Lucas screwed up. Leia clearly stated she remembered her mother as being "beautiful, but sad" implying she lived past child birth
5) Why would Obi Wan return luke to the planet where Anakin was born? Seems odd and predictable by Siddius if he would ever expect that Anakins child has survived. I guess its not really an issue though so..
6) I really missed the martial arts trained fighting scenes of Darth Maul. I wish they would have continued on with that type of choreography in the fighting scenes.
I walked away from the movie somewhat depressed. Seeing all the death and carnage (especially the children and Windu), seeing the betrayal Obi-Wan and Yodi endured, knowing both of them get old and eventually die, etc. However, the movie (barring some cheesy acting on Padme's part) was awesome!
BTW, the sound sucked, no thanks to the AMC25 superplex I saw it at. There are few theaters in florida that can do movies like this justice. I will eventually try to see this at the Disney theater which I hear is stellar.
