    The Sidious/Plagueis plan. Ok. If you're on the dark side, the only person you care about is yourself. Its all about you, baby.  The only way you become a master is if you're knock your own master off, you always gotta be looking over your shoulder, but if you're the biggest badass in the valley, you have nothing to worry about. Ok, so you're a Dark Lord of the Sith, abeit in hiding. Why would you use your knowledge of the Force to create a Jedi (Anakin) more powerful than yourself. If he goes darkside, he's ultimately going to knock you off. Anakin's maiming was in the best interest of Palpatine, but what if he won his duel with OWK? Then Palps would be fucked. I just don't see what the hell Plagueis was thinking. Yeah, conceiving Anakin the super-jedi was in the best interest of the Sith, but sith lords don't let themselves get knocked off for the best interest of the sith. they only care about themselves

    jawf
    i couldn't agree more..sort of begs the question as to why siths even would want apprentices?
    i think alot of the thematic logic of the series has gotten more and more muddled depending on which religious/spirtual themes lucas tries to weld together.
    in episode 4-6 we been fed a steady diet of an overarching compassion for others and while each individual has their own path in life, there is a connectivity of all things.
    then in ep 1-2 we get this calvinist predetermined fate , you're the chosen one theory
    now in ep 3 anakin was created as just a pawn in this sith/ jedi machveillian power struggle ?

    the other thing that really bothered me about this film is that lucas still doesn't seem to understand the crucial difference between an ommage and outright farce.
    at the midnight show i went to half the theatre either groaned or outright laughed at the Vader NOOOOOOOO line. i mean this is suppose to be THE emotional kick to the gut of the entire series? Vader 's self realization of at his own point of no return. that he'd betrayed his own belief system, murdered kids, killed his wife and his own kids (as far as he knew) and was trapped for ever as a half man/ machine
    this had the potential to be the darkest moment and we got homer simpson???

    the pai mei scenes in kill bill 2 are an ommage
    the kung fu scenes in kentucky fried movie are farce
    yet both work!
    the vader/frankenstein connection didn't.

    actually han solo quips this in ep IV right before the the hyperspace jump to alderaan..

    i agree with snaithbert and Despondent..

    ep III is a nothing but a steaming pile of sith..
