Anything to do with Palpatine, especially that little smile when Padme announces that she's going to return to Naboo to fight.

Really? I agree with you about the sabre duel and Palpatine, but TPM's space battle was weak. Compared to the battles in ANH and RotJ, there was no flow, you never really knew (or cared, for that matter) who had the upper hand, and none of the pilots had any personality. Then the battle was ultimately won entirely by accident as Anakin accidentally flew into space and joined the fight, accidentally crashed his fighter inside the droid control ship, and accidentally fired his torpedoes at the reactor. It felt like a Pink Panther movie, except Inspector Clouseau's incompetence is played for comedic effect and he's supposed to only be capable of solving a case through dumb luck.
That scence also gave us this dialogue gem: "Let's try a spin, that's a good trick!"
