I keep going back to that scene when Anakin is masked for the first time, and its a combination of realization and then resolve. Remember he didn't know that he had killed his wife yet. That was the look of a man that in his mind was saying


"Obi Wan Kenobi, you just made the list".



There was absolutely some awkwardness in ROTS, the NOOOOO cry could have been better. But I did like the frankenstein lumber off of the table as a man that was not used to the suit.


I loved the slow seduction of Anakin by Palpatine who used selective truth .


The opera scene was brilliant, the scene in the office between Anakin and Palpatine was brilliant.


I didn't have a problem with the whole taxation of the trade routes, politics, we knew that the Republic wasn't going to fall on the sword of a Sith Lord, with armies over throwing the republic. The Republic was going to crumble for the same reason why the Jedi collapsed. Supreme Arrogance, blindness and corruption.


In the Revenge of the Sith novel, which is excellent. Dooku likened the light side of the Force as looking through a window and seeing a meadow with flowers and trees. The Darkside was a blacker then black storm on the horizon, and Palpatine was that lurker looking through and testing windows and doors like a burgler trying to find a way into your home without alerting anyone.


I didn't have a problem at all with the storyline of the OT, I thought the Palpatine storyline was good. But there were some breakdowns in execution. Yeah Hayden was pretty flat and Nat looked at times like she'd rather be doing any other movie. I think if George could go back, maybe Anakin would be recast, but physicality wise Hayden was the choice, and on top of that, when he became Vader pre suit, I thought he had some great moments. With the best part being him standing by the railing with tears rolling down his cheeks because deep down he knew, he was lost.
