Yeah, the Jedi Council was pretty damned stupid, with Sith Lord Palpatine running amok FOR YEARS right in front of their clueless noses. And the set-up with Amidala and Anakin was stupid too...she's like five or six years older than him, and his behavior amounted to creepy stalker with anger issues. But yet, she could look past all that and fall in love?

And even then, Lucas handled it very poorly. What should have happened was that Anakin and Amidala got embroiled in a public sex scandal with their babies, which was verboten with the celibate Jedi. Anakin gets tossed out of the Jedi Order, is enraged, Palpatine picks him up, and then sends him back to the Jedi Council, where he breaks bad as Darth Vader, wiping out Windu and most of the other Jedi masters singlehandledly, with only Yoda escaping his wrath. Cut then to the battle with Obi-Wan, who manages to somehow overcome Vader at the lava pit.

THAT's what should have happened in Episode III.

I agree with you about Amidala and Anakin but what really set me off as being odd from the start was wondering how an entire planet could elect a fourteen year old "Queen" and leader.

Major beef w Episode 3, all the biggest scenes were poorly done you sit there rewriting them BUT

The absolute worst is, why the heck does Yoda stop fighting Palpatine and give up the whole war and galaxy for that matter? They fight to an absolute draw and after Yoda falls from a height, he hops in an escape vehicle and announces “Into exile I will go”.

Meanwhile, Obi Wan outright DEFEATS Anakin, yet he and Yoda go into full retreat and hiding. Makes no sense.
