Lucas had to be very, very careful with the Yoda/Dooku duel, to prevent it from looking ridiculous. He was, mostly. The look on Yoda's face at the start of the duel was priceless.

That was NOT my favorite part though - Anakin matter-of-factly describing what he did to a group of freebooters was the part that most transfixed me. Niiiiiice foreshadowing.

Some parts of the story dragged a bit, and Samuel L. Jackson DON'T got game, but the tech was awesome. Go see it - you know you want to!

So, any bets on the title of Episode III? I'm putting my oar in for "The Fall of the Jedi.".

The title could simply be "the clone wars" since Yoda declared they had begun towards the end.

Yes, good acting during the whole Tusken Raiders episode. But I found Anakin most convincing when he made his speech on his mother's grave. You knew then he'd crossed over to the dark side and there was no going back. Too bad Lucas had him be so rude and disrespectful towards Obi-Wan. Maybe that's why it was impossible for Obi Wan to be charismatic. Difficult to look good when a brat treats you like dirt in front of everybody...

The fights were awesome and the CGI so good you could actually feel the textures.
But can someone tell me why at the end the 2 (very unconvincing) lovers stay side by side without holding each other? I found that scene very odd.
