The NOOOO was a little too much, but the Frankenstein walk was intentional. Lucas said in an interview I read a week ago that Hayden complained to him about how bulky and awkward the costume was and that he was having trouble moving in it. Lucas said "good" because he wanted it to look like someone who had just come out of major surgery with replacement limbs who was walking in a big, bulky armored suit for the first time which is exactly what it was supposed to be.
I agree with GL (God forbid, I know). I think it was well done and well thought out. The scream on the other hand...

didnt Padme die after Leia was born??
now if your telling me... that she remembers that from when Padme named her before she died im gonna howl.. because theres no way you would remember as a baby if someone was sad or not....??? i dont even think a baby would know what sad is....
I explained this just a few minutes ago in another thread. Here goes again...
it's possible that they were created memories. I wonder how much of my childhood are legitimate memories and how much were created by my brain in response to photos I have seen and stories I've been told about events. It's possible that she created the image of her mother based on stories she heard and photos that she saw. No, Bail and his wife were not likely to have pictures of Padme around, but she was a Queen and a Senator so historical records would have her image in there somewhere along with rough accounts of her life. The rest could be Bail's description of her always being sad. Which she was a lot of the time when they were together because they watched together as the Republic crumbled and the galaxy fell into civil war.

maybe its just me... i dont remember him saying that... do you?
and if your gonna tell me he said it off screen.... how would Anakin have known he was having a son???
A very small nit to pick. Isn't it obvious that Obi-Wan was trying to protect Luke and give him the impression that his father was a great man? He doesn't want Luke to know that Anakin and Vader are one and the same. So he trumps up Anakin to Luke and makes him seem like a great man who fell at the hands of an evil tyrant and whose final thoughts before dying were of his infant son. Pretty simple interpretation I would think.
