Qui-Gon Jedi Spirit Training: Can not happen. For the simple reason that at the end of Jedi, Anakin's spirit shows up with Obi and Yoda. Vader certainly didn't get this special training from the Q man, therefore it contradicts the films.
Nobody trained Quigon in how to do this, so perhaps Vader discovered it the same way QuiGon did.Quote
Obi-Wan is there for the birth: Another continuity error. Obi-Wan doesn't know about Leia, only Luke. In Empire he is unaware of Leia until Yoda tells him "there is another". Some will argue that this is open to interpretation, and so it is, but I maintain that Obi-wan seems to be pretty clearly in the dark about Leia's existence until that point and gets filled in by Yoda after the fact. It also makes more sense. If anyone ever found Luke or Obi-Wan, he wouldn't be in the position to give up the existence nor the location of Princess Leia.
Obi Wan knew of Leia, he just did not consider her a "Hope"... Obi Wan didn't think she could be as effective against the Emperor as Luke was.Quote
Anakin's Turn: Anakin is clearly the stupidest Jedi in the history of the Galaxy. Palpatine reveals that he is a sith lord and Anakin doesn't start piecing it together? "Hey! that means you started the war! You're responsible for Qui-Gon's death! You created the clone army! You tried to have my wife assasinated! You had me sentenced to death! You control the seperatists! You had me kill your own apprentice! you've been trying to turn me against the jedi!" But no, none of this apparently goes through his head, and then when he arrives to find Mace and Palpatine facing off, Palpy lies to his face "I'm too weak!" but as soon as Anakin intervenes, suddenly Palpy is back at full power and blasts Mace out the window? Hey kid, he just lied to your face! not to mention he tried to make you think Mace was trying to overthrow the republic AFTER you walked over 2 jedi corpses. You think Mace did that maybe? You know, if Lucas had just characterized Anakin as a dumb jock, none of this would matter. If the audience just believed Anakin was stupid, we'd be in a better place
Hm. Yeah, but... Anakin is incredibly self centered, and he'll do anything to get him more power, and anything to save Padme. Plus he was probably scared Palps would kill him. He already distrusts the Jedi anyway.Quote
R2 keeps his memory: Lame. Just lame.
Actually, it makes more sense that way. After all, R2 is the hero of the series, constantly saving everyone's butts, and he understands how important it is to find ObiWan and all.Quote
Vader the thespian: "NOOOOOOOOOOO" Worst. Line. Ever.
Agreed. A generic scream (rather than a word) or no scream at all would have been much better.Quote
General Grievous: Wow, you know you're doing something wrong when the cartoon version of a character is more interesting, threatening and compelling than his feature film counter-part.
It would have been nice if they had explained WHY Grevous was coughing and all.
