The actors trained for quite some time with professional sword-fighters before the duels. They had a lot of training, and knew what they were doing.
I didn't bother to read the first 4 pages of this thread, so my apologies if these things have already been brought up.
I liked the movie, save for these details:
- Nathalie Portman's miniscule role - After the very big role that she played in Episode II and especially the huge role that she plays in Anakin's life, I expected to see Padmé for at 10% of the movie.
- The dialogue between Anakin and Padmé made me cry - Not in a good way.
Padmé: Anakin, I'm pregnant.
Anakin: *Grimaces for a good 10 seconds* This.... is the most amazing day of my life.
Anakin: I'm going to conquer the universe. You and I together! We can make everyone think the way we do!
Padmé: Ani...
Me: *Waiting for Padmé to say something big*
Padmé: YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART!
Me: What.
- Some of the dialogue:
Vader: Where is Padme? Is she all right?
Sidius: You... You killed her in your rage.
Vader: What? No... That's impossible.... NOOOOOOOOOOO!
- General Grievous - What in the bloody hell did they do to him? In the cartoon, he was such an amazing character that owned 7+ Jedi. In the movie, he had heart problems and lost so very easily. I also hate how they just added him in the movie for the sake of him being there. They didn't give a background story of him at all. He was just there.
- Padme went through 2-3 trimesters in a matter of a week.
- Anakin's transition from good to evil - It was done so very poorly. He was so annoying in the movie. Here's Obi Wan who has trained, looked over, and has pretty much been a father to Anakin for a good decade or so. Enter Sidius, who's known Anakin for less than a year. With talk of saving Padme, he somehow wooes Anakin into joining the Dark Side within a couple days. Anakin, who was a righteous Jedi just a few days ago. Anakin, who even said that Obi Wan was a father to him.
*After cutting Mace Windu's hand off*
Anakin: What have I done? *Wheeps*
Sidius: I now dub thee, Darth Vader.
Anakin: Oh, okay. I'm here to serve you, master.
I liked the movie. I really did. It just could've used a bit more work.
They gave Grievous all the background he needed--top dog of the droid separatist army.
I think it is pretty obvious that the movie didn't take place in real time. I'm pretty sure that there were a good couple of years between the two movies and obviously nine months passed between Palpatine's rescue and Anakin's betrayal. It wasn't transitioned smoothly but I can understand it since they had a lot of material to cover.
Anakin knew Palpatine for a number of years. Even in Attack of the Clones they acted as though they were close and that the Chancellor had a mentor role with him.

I believe that Anakin said that the Chancellor had always been a mentor to him "as soon as [he] arrived here [Coruscant]," which I would assume means when he was 8 years old.
Palpatine had been twisting Anakin since he was a child, and new how to play on his ego and his emotions. I thought Anakin's fall was perfect.
Anakin was 9 when he came to Coruscant, and no doubt Sidious saw the opportunity then... the Chosen One would fit perfectly into his plans. He started working then... and episode III takes place quite some time after episode II. The fact that Anakin is a Knight says a lot... how old was he in AotC? 20 or thereabouts? Most Jedi take the Trials and become Knights around 30, give or take a few years and barring special cases, so Anakin was probably in his late 20's/early 30's (I'm sure Clone Wars expands on the time line). Sidious had a lifetime to manipulate him. Plus, Sidious played on something very important; Anakin's downright obsession with Padme.
We see it in AotC, where he talks about how he's never stopped thinking about her. He lays it on thick the whole time, he's completly infatuated with her. So when he's faced with the prospect of losing her, it's enough to make him do just about anything. Padme is more important to Anakin than Palpatine, Obi-Wan, and the entire Jedi Order. The mere thought of losing her is enough to make him sell his soul to save her.
Yeah you are right..And the irony is that his actions actually lead her to death..

Yep. That whole thing was a shining reason of why the Jedi Order doesnt allow such relationships. But if Anakin had followed Yoda's advice, or Padme's, and simply allowed things to come as they would, she'd be alive and he'd be the happy father of twins. Oh, and Palpatine would be dead and the galaxy would be at peace.
*kicks Anakin*
The movie was an awesome film. They should have made General Grievous a bit more powerful or stronger at least. My little brother's favourite character in Star Wars was Mace Windu (Don't even know if I even spelt it right xD), and when he got his hand sliced by Anakin, my brother said, " What the F***ing hell is this? Anakin, you're a cheap B****!" From that day on, my little brother hated Anakin with a passion. (The little guy is only 10 years old. I didn't even know he had such outstanding vocabulary. xD)
"Feed me."
Yeah I read about one who escaped the initial slaughter; he was a librarian (wow) for some super Jedi space station.
But I'm not sure if the book was Okayed by Lucas; it may have just been some published fanfic.

EPI 2 obi-wan: This weapon is your live try not to lose it next time
epi 3 not only did obi-wan lose his lightsaber even friging windu and yoda lost thieres
Too big. <-- yeah i heard that one before
Obi-Wan has to say those sorts of things, he's a teacher. Besides, it isnt like Anakin got in trouble for it.
Anyway, Callista didnt survive persay (SPOILER)her soul was trapped in the Eye of Palpatine or whatever that machine was called.
And thanks for the enough, FireGlass :skull3:
Whoever wanted to know when Revenge took place, it was approximately three years. On to the important, the DVD is out! Anyone who is a fan should do themselves a favor and buy it!
