Padme still inexplicably loves Anakin. More dead romancing went on with "I love you" "no, I love you more". Yawn
Palpatine and Anakin's relationship officially started in episode III, therefore felt rushed when Anakin swore allegiance to Palps. I felt very cheated with his conversion. I guess the audience is just suppose to assume that the two of them hit it off some time between ATOC and ROTS.
Most of the battles led no where but did have more impact on me than the last two installments.
As I suspected, Qui Gonn's character was useless. They mentioned his name and muttered something about him learning how to be immortal. It was a stupid plug used as an excuse to fire of his name. I guess Lucas wanted us to know that he did not forget about him.
OK, Qui Gonn did serve a purpose, he robbed OB1's TPM oppurtunity of having a relationship with Anakin. He was a throw away character, his only purpose was to die at the hands of maul, therefore making the battle more significant when OB1 entered the ring.
Anakin's fall to the darkside was so pussy that it made me cringe. He did it to save his wife? That is why he becomes a murdering dictator? He even admitted he does not like to kill, he felt bad after killing Dooku (the guy that cut his arm off), but then later decides to kill kids.
------Very Important NOTE, for me------
Before I saw this film I thought the darkside was utilized by evil people. After seeing ROTS, the only explanation is that the dark side utilizes evil people. Why? Because Anakin literally turns into an evil bastard over a ten minute conversation with palps where he commits to the dark side. Which is totally stupid. It makes Vader's redemption pointless. It was not his fault, but the darkside, he only went dark to save his wife, so his enterence into evil was for a noble cause. So he's a good guy after all. It's not like he wanted to kill people and be evil, that was the dark side of the force controlling him. So he was a slave, redemption was pointless. Blah!
More over, the dark side (as according to ROTS) is having the ability to follow your own desires. Yet Anakin never liked killing, he just got a taste for it after going dark, therefore he did not follow his desire, it seemed like he was possessed by the dark force. If the Dark side worked like I previously thought, Vader would have felt cheated since he nor Palatine could save Padme, he'd probably kill Palpatine out of spite and run off to some Cantina in the corner of the galaxy. Or maybe he'd take over the universe and try run it like Padme wanted too. A democracy.

Palpatine started off good then later was reduced the cackling villian. He wouldn't stop laughing while fighting Yoda!
OB1 knew about leia, which was stupid because he forgot about her in ESB.
I still don't know why Wookies were in the film. And what was with that lizard ob1 was riding!
I liked Grevious, he moved well. Anakin being turned into Vader was well done. The final shot of Vader and Palps was good.
It's a fitting end to a terrible PT.
