What went wrong

List of Grievances
1. Far, FAR too much going on. Half the scenes were extraneous and could have been dropped in favour of making the important scenes longer. What's the point of Kashyykk, apart from giving the fanboys a glimpse of Chewie?
2. Too much CGI spacey shenangegins in place of real people acting. Think about Eps 4, 5 and 6 - they all had one climactic space battle and generally kept a lid on this stuff in the rest of the film.
3. Too little time spent on Anakin's fall, and he turned for pretty crappy reasons too.
4. Too many throwaway characters. Would the film have suffered if Grevious wasn't in it?

Anakin was caught in between a rock and a hard place, when he found Mace and Palpatine fighting. He had only one side to fight on. He could either fight on Mace's side (who didn't let him become a Jedi Master, when he deserved it), or Palpatine's side (the man who had faith in him, and supported Anakin's beliefs and choices). He went to Palpatine's side, helped kill Mace, and then was shocked. Only then, did he know he couldn't go back to being a Jedi: he was already stained by the death of one of their main masters. So, he had no other logical choice, but to join Palpatine, and his new imperial dream for the galaxy.
Palpatine offered so much for Anakin, when no one else was offering anything at all. It's only natural, and only human, to side with those who believe in us, and support us, and offer us more power than we already have.

Look at the big brains on Star wars are us!
Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.
That's what Mace should have said said to Anakin

When you are done with your transitional period (...?), I urge you to please continue arguing with us. This could get heated... maybe even to the point where one of us catches fire, and we must put on a Darth Vader suit.

From Anakin's point of view, he deserved it.

You can still be cool, and have a twisted point of view.
