I also thought Anakin -> Vader was totally believeable. Remember that Anakin had an extremely bad childhood as a slave and this pretty much led to him being totally nutso. Being strong and also unbalanced is not out of the question. I liked this part of the story a lot.

For Padme not to see this was pretty ridiculous. He was doomed from the beginning.

I also think Lucas got cold feet, he must have thought about putting in the storyiline that Anakin killed Padme, but then chickened out for the "will to live" crap.

All in all, a good movie, well worth $5.50 if you don't try to analyze the crappy script, the story is good, script, pretty awful. Lucas almost screwed up the climax of the movie with odd word choice.

And what is the deal with 'younglings"? WTF? Would it have killed them to use a regular word like "children"?

wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I gathered the "younglings" were the young Jedi, which would differentiate them from normal children.
