Was it just GD and I, or was did it feel weird to have them talk about pregnancy and babies in Star Wars? I think it's just because they've never faced that kind of stuff before. Padme being visibly pregnant without a visible husband - was that taboo in Naboo? (Heh.) Did Obi-Wan always realize that Ani was the father? If he did, how come he didn't kick Ani's ass for falling in love etc? If he didn't figure it out, he's a sucky Jedi.
I LOVED that Anakin kills children. LOVED IT! No sarcasm here. That was wonderfully heavy, awesome stuff. Claire, was Cassidy ok with that? That part where a young Jedi goes out fighting is awesome.
The cutting down of the Jedi was rather moving but I really wish that they had shown them fighting for their lives. Or at least, had like 50 guys ambush each of them instead of just 3. They made the Jedi look too vulnerable for my taste. I would have dug it if they cut the opening battle in half and spent that time showing individual Jedi battles.
I loved the idea that Anakin thinks he's fighting for freedom and justice. That he's the one that causes Padme's death. And then he's stuck with the darkside. That moment when he's roboticized and first thing he says "how is Padme"....freaked me out. I could have done with some masked Vader stuff - I was hoping we'd see more of him in that state.
In the end I'm annoyed that these movies exist, as they undermine the originals no matter what you do. Even though they did a great job of blending the technologies - I am a SW vehicle fan, so seeing them develop was cool - at the end when you see Vader's Star Destroyer bridge with red and white lights and black buttons, it just doesn't make sense (think of the controls of all the ships we've seen)....although I admit it was awesome to see anyway.
