I believe this to be accurate. It fits with everyrthing I've heard and some of my worst nightmares. Towards the end of hte film it gets so cluttered it's not even funny. They also put in Chewbaca apparently. Also Anakin not only kills the jedi younglings and a bunch of knights but he blows up a room, chokes padme and kills a bunch of random people... Ok, that is COMPLETELY out of the realm of a serious bad guy. The only villain that blood thirsty I've EVER come across was Jerak in Deathstalker 2 and even he didn't just slaughter a bunch of kids cuz some crusty old guy told him to! My generation watched return of the jedi's ending and thought "I wish Luke had gone back for him" This generation will watch it and think "I hope he rots in hell along with Michael Jackson" I mean really what the fuck! There's no way to explain Anakin killing Padme and the kids and whoever else he murders. In the ghost scene with Yoda and Obi Wan it will have to be revised so the two real jedi kind of shift away from the bastard!
And as for the jedi fighting a war umm... didn't they say they COULDNT do that? Didn't Yoda say that he's not a warrior? Why the hell are they leading hte empire's war against the rebels? What the hell is Dooku doing taking Sidious prisoner? Why is a Sith scroll on Dashyyyk? Why does Obi Wan cut off all of Anakin's limbs instead of just killing him? What the hell kind of Jedi is he if he considers it fun to just slice off his opponents body parts and leave him to torment? Moreover if Anakin loses all his bodily apendages (even 'lil ani'?) how the hell does he even have enough mediclorians left to shake a stick at? How the hell do they capture Palpatine or explain capturing Palpatine? Why does Mace notice Palpatine and not Yoda? Is his force unblocked? Did he use metamucil to do it? Isn't this movie just one big whining temper tantrum? Since when has Palpatine been a great supporter of Anakin's career?
And here is my core fucking question. Palpatine gets Anakin to go to the dark side by saying that the Jedi are corrupt. WHAT THE FUCK!? How does a jedi become corrupt? Are they being bought off by the mafia? Is Don Corleone using them as hired muscle or paying them to ignore his activities? Are they selling contracts for the rebuilding of Naboo to corporations they used to be presidents of? Did they have people raid Lord Sidious' campaign office in the Watergate hotel on Coruscant? How the hell does one imagine a jedi to be corrupt!?
And, the one question, the burning all important question that this plot doesn't answer is this: HOW DOES BINKS DIE? I've watched your movies I've read your plot now tell me George Lucas how are you going to gut this gungan? I can accept lava surfing and corrupt jedi and misplaced Sith scrolls and general obi wan but I won't stand for Jar Jar's continued existence. It will fully ruin the original trilogy if I have to watch it with the knowledge that long ago in a galaxy far, far away there still exists a creature like that!
