Firstly, Adam... your sig pic is making me want to kill myself. Seriously.... TOO BIG!

Second...

Take the famous "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!" from ROTS. I ask everyone, do you honestly think that it is any better than Lukes "Noooooo!!!!!!" in ESB?

This is the first time where I will disagree with you 200%. While I have made it clear that I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I have to say that if you think that the Vader "jazz hands" scene from ROTS (the one scene that made me almost want to crawl under my seat in the theater the first time out) is on par with Luke's agony at the revelation that Vader is his father in EMPIRE, you are one tiny step away from delusion. Hell, I would go out on a limb and say that that is one of the best acted moments in the entire Original Trilogy! I know a lot of people like to parody it, but all I know is that every time I watch it, I feel Luke's pain reflected up on that screen. When I watch ol' Frankenvader in ROTS, I can't help but feel the urge to revert to my childhood mantra of "LALALALALALALALALALA, I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU!". Good Lord... that scene seriously derailed a train that was at that point CHARGING down the tracks full steam. One of the biggest misteps in the entire Prequel Trilogy in my opinion.
