Glad to see I'm not the only person who thought that lightsaber duel was crap. They should have cut everything but the last few minutes and moved the location away from those stupid little droids inches above the lava to a slightly more realistic place. You can only take suspension of disbelief so far, and they totally lost me there.

As for 3PO, I agree that he was treated like crap, and his lines were the most vile pieces of garbage in Attack of the Clones ("What a drag!" "I'm quite besides myself!" "Die, Jedi dogs!" Puh-leeze! I'm surprised Anthony Daniels didn't storm off the soundstage at that point.), I don't see why you'd say he would treat the human characters any better. All the rest of them go through poorly constructed, continuity-threatening backstories and horrific dialogue.
