He told Obi-Wan that Viceroy Gunray came to him for help and told him everything about Sidious. I just assumed that that was supposed to be his "private" motivation for championing the separatist cause.
*shrug* What can I say, I can barely remember what was said in AOTC. :P

No. When Anakin and Padme are both looking out of the Coruscant city scape being all thoughtful and emotional.

Oh man... Order 66... :cry:

Hmm... "Commander Cody, the time has come... Execute Order 66." Interesting choice of words. Also, none of the Clones need to be told what Order 66 is. They just start killing Jedi.

What are you going to do little British Jedi boy? Man, you really shouldn't have asked that.

Yes. However what distressed me about the scene was that Palpatine wiped the other Jedi in approximately 0.01 seconds.
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.

At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.

The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'

'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

Oh good. The Nemoidians are gonna eat it. And strangely enough, Yoda seems like more of a badass killing clones outside the Temple than anywhere else.

It's too bad that they didn't show Anakin killing actual Jedi instead of helpless Jedi kids and weaponless accountants, traders and bankers. Him wading through Jedi would have done a lot more to establish the Jedi hunter role Obi-Wan claims he has in ANH.

So this is how freedom dies... to overacting and scene chewing. :D

And it all happened because of the taxation of trade routes, once again proving that Libertarians are right :lol:

Oh for fucks sake Padme. Anakin already told you that he killed a whole fucking village including the kids. :roll: He even told you how angry he was and how much he hated. Turn to the darkside? No! I don't believe it! double roll.

Damn, Padme really likes to rock the bling on her ship. 'Just the rims? No, Captain Panaka, chrome my whole damn ride.'

And do all Naboo ships all operate on ONE FUCKING BUTTON. I know someone had to fucking notice this in the editing room.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes... and me, when I'm making a very dramatic point. Hey lets twirl lightsabers at each other. :lol:

OK the good part... Man, they really get that wall impact down with Yoda. Ouch.

... and Yoda.
... and Mace.

And I love the "I don't know who you are anymore," or whatever line from Padme. Seriously, what the hell are you talking about? Of course you know who he is because Anakin HASN'T CHANGED one damn bit from AotC.

Killing of innocents by the dozen? Check.
Whiny and self-centered? Check.
Delusions of grandeur and overinflated self-importance? Check.
Bitches about his mentor? Check.

The only thing that's changed is the people Anakin killed weren't 'darkies' this time.

I love when he goes into full on Sidious mode. It's like he is letting out 1000 years of gleeful anger.

Oh but then it goes into the Senate pod scene which is cool, but I would have liked to have seen Yoda fight back a little more instead of continually trying to go back to his lightsaber.

I'm also not sure why Yoda is defeated. I mean, yeah, he fell, but so what. What happened to 'Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.' I dunno about you, but that sure looked like a try followed by a 'do not'.

OK, what is this whiny fanboy complaining about the Death Star in ROTS not being the same one from ANH because it wasn't round enough or some such nonsense?

The greatest thing to come out of Episode 3.
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.

At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.

The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'

'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

God damnit... the closing montage gets me every time... :cry: :cry: In a movie with lots of little things to nitpick, it is about perfect.

OK so yeah, ROTS is good. Not TESB or ANH good, but ROTJ good and that is plenty good.

The novelization made anakin's reason for being pissed at the Jedi better. In that he felt they were denying him access to the holocrons, which may have secrets to save Padme. He also actually considers that it may be a self fullfilling prophecy. And Yoda's advice is much less stupid. But overall, I agree with you Hav. This is a truely great movie. I don't get why it has so much hate aimed at it.

It's the other way round - the RotS object is nearly a perfect sphere, while the DS I had a shorter polar than equatorial diameter. The Death Star also had a proportionally much larger superlaser dish.
