While many of Palpatine's exp​ressions were outright silly (an over the top villain enjoying himself way too much) I didn't really have a problem with the differences in the makeup. Aside from twenty-five years or so between ROTS and ROTJ, there are recent effects to consider. Although there have been some strange connections made between using force lighting and the changes in Palpatine's face that clearly isn't the cause. Specifically, it's the lightening backfiring off of Mace's lightsaber that does the damage. This brings us to the real Palpatine difference. Other than just looking less weathered than in ROTJ, he looks puffier. Considering how recently the disfigurement happened, it could just be that the swelling hasn't gone down.

I am afraid the point of my post has been completely lost. The idea that a special trap or two had been set up by Grievous is not a big issue. He had faced Jedi before, so it doesn't really pose a problem to Episode I that the Trade Federation can't block off every corridor and toilet stall with shields like they can in Star Trek. The problem is that everything that we've seen (not even counting EU descriptions) has pointed to a big problem here. Obi-Wan, Anakin and Palpatine should have been able to walk right through ray shields like they weren't even there. Ray shields only block rays, and their lightsabers were off. Without some line of dialogue suggesting that it's dangerous for living things to cross them (unlike the droids), we can only assume that the trap was meaningless.

To be fair to some of those laughing people, if they were like me, it was because they thought it was so silly they couldn't help it. By that I mean in the Battlefield Earth, occasionally so bad it is unintentionally funny way.

Your premise is interesting, but could use a little bit of work. The final saber duel I would recommend nixing the legless thing. It just seems too reminiscent of what happens to Anakin. Reaching out with the force to create a new soul also seems like a bit of a stretch for a washed out Jedi.

On an issue of creativity, you might do better if you made your main character female. Up to this point the whole Jedi thing has seemed very male dominated. You do see some women in I-III, but Lucas made them little more than background. This could be an opportunity to break from that a little and show a cool female character.

The whole no attachment rule doesn't necessarilly imply no sex. After all don't you think that twenty or more years of sexual frustration are liable to lead to some psychotic tendencies, and therefore be a path to the dark side. For testimony to that effect all we need to do is ask some of these priests brought up on charges about it. My fried had an interesting theory, however, that most Jedi make routine visits with hookers. Hell, it's probably in the health plan.
