Ben on a cheesy lizard was worthy of more screen-time than a discussion of the fate of Anakin's children? The last hopes of the galaxy?C'mon. Given Anakin's powers, Yoda and Ben's decision-making process concerning the future of the children was woefully brief ... and not nearly as forward-looking as it should have been.

I would have gladly accepted two more meaningful minutes of Yoda and Ben preparing the fate of these children over the robot factory scene in Clones, the poop jokes in Phantom, and 90% of the opening battle scene in Sith.

The book had the sense to flesh-out this process a little more than the film, but clearly the novelizations are not considered canon (didn't Anakin have a vision of Padme leading a group of Jedi against him in the Phantom Menace tie-in?)

The entire ending of Sith felt way too rushed … as rushed as Anakin’s sudden leap over to the dark side, which was dreadful, really. Sorry … I just can’t overlook this stuff. I don't know how you can. It’s all way too glaring.
