While I was replying to 50's diner in Star Wars universe thread I got an idea for this thread. While watching ROTS I got a sense that it's sort of a AOTC 2.0 like he was trying to fix the problems he created in AOTC(without making a AOTC SE). Here's just a short list of the similarities between ROTS and, AOTC:

1downward chase/downward spaceship fall
2Mace tells what Dooku is/Mace tells what Grevious is
3Anakin and, Padme meet up after being away for a while
4Anakin and, Obiwan seperate becuase of some mission
5Anakin whines about Obiwan to Padme
6Obiwan overhears the meeting with Dooku/Grevious
7Bad romance dialog between Anakin and, Padme
8Obiwan doesn't meet up with Anakin again until near the end
9Anakin and, Palpatine go down the same stairs while having a conversation
10Mace tells Anakin to do something and, Anakin does the opposite
11Obiwan has to go into stealth mode
12Padme packs in the same room in both movies
13Mace/Yoda/Obiwan talk about Anakin
14Anakin has a nightmare and, believes it will come true
15Some short sequence of Anakin killing aliens
16Anakin tells Padme he killed Tuskens/Obiwan tells Padme Anakin killed Jedi
17pan up sun on right/pan down sun on right
18Obiwan gets thrown over a ledge by Jango/Grievous and, in TPM Maul
19Padme comments on Anakin's changes
20Obiwan and, Anakin talk about his training

That's just off the top of my head. There's probably more but, I don't want to list them all.... Am I the only one that thinks this?
