I agree with you, ADigitalMan, when it comes to saying that the Vader "mystique" has been cheapened somewhat by the whole PT. I guess we all basically knew for a while that anger at the loss of Mom&Wife would push Anakin towards the Dark Side, and the idea of a backfired plan to save Amidala wasn't all that bad, but dialogue and delivery (even casting while we're at it!) just plain sucked, for all the redeeming worth of ep.III compared to the other two. I try to remember Vader as I envisioned him as a kid, forgetting the PT Anakin: as a mysteriously powerful (almost noble in classy cruelty) and nightmarishly villain.
