I agree with some of the things you said Jarod, but not all. I too liked the battle with Dooku, especially Anakin disarming him. And the death order, that was great. I didn't like the turning of Anakin either, way to fast for him to bow over. Perhaps if Palpatine had fed him a few lies, and then Anakin crumbled and cried, and then slowly pledged himself. For grevious... I hated it. He made a mockery of him and I expected him to be kicking ass through the movie. Although I do like when Kenobi jumps down and says "Hello". As for the blaster, he says. "It is an elegant weapon, not as clumsy or random as a blaster." I think. For the Jedi Knights, I think that they were unprepared for battle and maybe Palpatine used some sort of Stun through the force to get through them quickly, which may explain why Windu bested him so easily. Maybe he used too much energy to get rid of the three Knights and then was sapped. But I believe he knew Anakin would come. Why else would he let him leave after revealing to him that he was a Sith Lord? The Jedi temple attack disappointed me. I too expected Anakin to do some ass-kicking. Although the children did hit home with me, as much as I hate them... Order 66, ouch. Well done I think. The pure look of shock and horror on Ki-adi Mundi's face when he turned around was priceless. Poor guy had the Droids shooting at him from behind and the clones from in front. Plo Koon's death pissed me off, I expected him to put up a badass fight... Damned Jedi Starfighters... As for Obi-Wan giving up on Anakin so easily I wasn't surprised. In episode one Obi-Wan is able to beat Darth Maul because he is pissed as hell, which shows that Ob-Wan gives into anger. I imagine he would have been quite angry about the Jedi Purge, and would have wanted revenge. So I believe it was in Obi-Wan's character to do what he did. Yoda and Palpatine. People say it was dumb because Yoda didn't kick his ass. If you watch the movie, where order 66 comes into play, you will notice Yoda looking hurt as the Jedi die. I attribute his loss to that. Having been sapped of energy or something. I liked when Obi-wan just walks away from Anakin, kind of symbolizes that Obi-wan is leaving him behind, and that he is over with him. I didn't like Padme's death but the "will to live" thing does make sense. The love of her life just tried to kill her and has gone against everything she believes in. While you could argue that she should live for her children, I think she died of heartbreak. Like the dog in "Where the Red Fern Grows".
