Taking a moment out of my busy day to make some comments.

Originally posted by Timber Loftis: The fight in the Senate chamber was way cool. Sidious had his own flippityness to combat the ever-flippity Yoda. love that line, Timber! I still have no problem with Obi beating Grievous. Grievous was NOT FORCE SENSITIVE. When 2 jedi fight, they sense the next moves and anticipate. Obi could do that to Grievous, but Grievous had no such capability to do likewise. Likewise. I did not like the "I have the higher ground- you can't win" bit at the end. It was in the video game, and I'd hoped it was changed, but there it is. I was like "Hey, Ben old boy, exactly HOW did you kill Darth Maul?" Regardless, Obi is my favorite character of the 6 movies now, bar none. I even liked his Dick Tracy investigation in AotC. And, he did leave Ani really gimped out. Actually, thinking about it, it is a rather helpful advantage. Especially if your old apprentice thinks he can jump far over you just because he turned sith. [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] Did anyone else think it was stupid to "Vaderize" Ani without first putting him in Bacta to get rid of the charred flesh and nastiness? Well, nasty, anyways, though some of the clothing was removed, the charred flesh was not. Interesting notion that Darth Plageus created Ani. It does not defy the prophecy, which would of course come true despite Sith meddling. Of course, we don't KNOW that Plageus was Palp's master. He could have been, but Palps could have discovered Sith knowledge of the tale elsewhere, among Sith artifacts. I have heard it mentioned that Palps was self-taught. Note that the prophecy was true, and Ani did in fact bring balance to the force -- in Ep. VI. Actually, I would argue that Anakin fulfills the prophesy by doing what he does. I think the "balance" is between the dark and the light. They are both natural parts of the force. Thus, either train a bunch of sith, or kill a bunch of Jedi... I think we know his choice, by now. Ani beating Dooku was not silly in the least. Having 3 years of combat training and further mentoring, he of course could have doubled in power. Between Ep. II and III he became, by Obi's own admission, a greater power than Obi. Also realize that George does like to show the sudden burst of ability using the dark side. I think that may very well have been what they were showing as well. Look at RoTJ, for another example. I do love how it was the evil to be found in insecurity, envy, anger, etc. that led Ani down the dark path. He was in an unwinnable situation, and had a personality that was easy for Palps to manipulate. Between being so old when he started training, being so full of tragic flaws, and being thrust in the middle of the Senate/Jedi conflict, he was doomed from the outset. Several excellent points, Timber! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
