I felt that too. For the 5 seconds shot from below, showing the officials at that lower part and the emperor, vader and tarkin above looking outside, I felt like I was watching a real Star Wars movie. That's why I think that there should be at least 15 minutes after Vader gets the suit.
It would have been cool if they had showed just a little bit more, but really I think they ended it at just the right moment. One thing I was afraid of was that it would either end to early, or end way after it should have, but GL really did a good job of ending it right where it needs to end before you watch episode 4. I mean, just think how the end of three will link to 4 when watching them back to back. It'll work almost perfectly.

Welcome to George Lucas World!
Meh. That really sucks. During the 16 years between Jedi and Episode 1, you'd think Lucas would be able to fill in all the plot holes instead of making them bigger...

Whether I like it or not (which I don't) I took that to be what he was getting at exactly, Simon. They (Plag/Sid) created Anakin, Sid killed Plag, Sid hired Maul, Obi killed Maul, Sid hired Dook, Midi-boy killed Dook, Sid hired Midi-Boy (making him his surrogate brother of sorts with Plag as their 'daddy'???), Midi-Boy killed Sid thus killing himself, Midi-boy reverts to Midi-Jedi and Joanie loves Chachi... oh wait... Fonz jumped over the shark in AOTC, right... I get soooooo confused.
I didn't even think of that... That's an interesting theory. I don't really see how it would work though. Why would Palpatine or Plagueous create a lifeform if they weren't even going to use it? I mean, if Qui-Gonn hadn't found Anakin, do you really think Palpatine would've gone to Tatooine to pick up Anakin? If he created him for the soul purpose of having the ultimate Sith Warrior or something along those lines, he wouldn't kept him from the moment he made him and trained him from the age of like, 3.
Maybe there was something between Plagueous and Shmi that's never explained? Like maybe they had a relationship?
Actually, now. Now that I think about it, that wouldn't work because Plagueous was suppose to of lived long, long ago. Way back before the Republic.
So, really, only Palpatine could have created Anakin, and that just doesn't make any sense and doesn't fit into the story at all. I don't think even GL made something this inconsistent. Maybe you guys are just reading to far into it.
