I don't understand the beef's with the "nooooooo" scene. The first thing he ask's is if Padme was safe. The Emperor said he killed her in his anger... The entire reason he joined the Sith was so the both of them could live in peace. He was a pawn simple as that. His love for Padme blinded him.

Here is a quote from another forum that I agree whole heartedly with.

Like everyone else, I was a little unsure of how this was going to pan out, BUT after viewing it and thinking about what is really happening in that scene, it is perfectly acceptable. First off, we must realize that ,although JEJ is the voice, the man actually occupying the suit is the emotional and out-wordly acting Anakin Skywalker. Put his together with the facts:

-he was just surgically altered (rather painfully and almost aqainst his will as we saw) as part machine and shoved into a full body life-support suit
-he just killed hundreds of Jedi (incl. children)
-ended his friendship with Obiwan by trying to kill him
-HE killed the one person he truly loved left alive
-HE killed the mother of his child (and I am assuming he thinks the baby is also dead)
-HE killed the ENTIRE reason he even joined the darkside
-he was reluctant to even side with Sideous, but ONLY did so knowing he could save Padme, only to find out IMMEDIATELY after pledging his loyalty that "only one had the power to create life", NOT his new master

To this end, I say that the quick to act and quick to emote Anakin we have been watching grow up since TPM, AOTC, The CWC, and the novels would have indeed screamed "NOOOOOOOO". I do think he should have fallen to his knees first though to add that extra emotion.

As far his coming off of the table and being awkward, the guys JUST had two mechanical legs inserted into his knees after almost dying on an ash beach of fire. I thought this scene would be alluded to the fact that it takes place over atleast a few days, but I got the impression that it was a single day. So I can TOTALLY buy his stunbling to walk. He was 20 years to learn to be smooth and steady.
