The PT is another set of three films which- viewed by themselves- kinda almost make sense and work as their own story."
And ANH stands on its own.
"Actually, I thought they did a really bad job clarifying who ordered the clones in II and III. It could be Sidious, it could be Dooku. Hell, I think in the books they say it was the real Syfo Dias"
Yes, it would have made more sense for Dooku to have killed Sifo, and then order the clones under his guise. As the book goes, Sifo orders the clones himself, Dooku finds out, and then kills him.
Why on Earth Sifo would do this, and without the Council's knowledge, and where did he get his money? Stupid.
""Where is Obi-Wan Kenobi?"
"It seems, you killed him"
"Good""
I don't understand the point of these lines. Vader wasn't surprised that Ben was alive in ANH. Furthermore, he thought Ben was dead and gone for good in ESB. "Obi-wan can no longer help him."
Anakin just can't get it right in the films.
"They DO share screen time ... at the birth of the twins. Yoda, Obi-Wan, Bail, R2 and C-3PO are ALL in that corridor when the twins are born. I rest my case."
They may share screen time, but I guarantee you that Yoda is not at all concerned with a common-looking atromech droid at that point in time.
