Wow, I'm surprised everyone else seemed to like the R2 scene. To each their own I guess. I just don't think he should be doing things in Episode 3 that he didn't do in episodes 1,2,4,5 or 6. If he's gonna have new abilities such as flying and catching, and fighting with oil it should atleast be explained how he gets them. We shouldn't have to assume that Anakin "Pimped his Droid".
R2 has always been one of my favorite characters because it's so impressive how much personality and emotion we can see in him, even though he has no facial expressions or dialogue that we can understand. Personally, I think R2 already kicked enough ass without the new moves and it was another example of Lucas overdoing something for comical effect.
