I like...

- some aspects of Coruscant
- most of the chase through Coruscant at night in AOTC
- the asteroid belt battle in AOTC
- parts of the pod race
- the Jedi funeral at the end of TPM
- the use of ending scenes similar to the OT ending scenes
- pairing of similar themes, incidents throughout the PT and OT story arcs (not to be confused with jamming every other OT character into the PT)
- Mustafar, Utapau, Naboo
- Gungans and Neimodians (in theory only)
- Watto! (more awesome than words, especially with his little helmet in AOTC)
- Obi-Wan telling Padme "I'm so sorry" when he finds out she is pregnant by Anakin - that whole scene is pretty good, actually
- Obi-Wan delimbing Anakin and leaving him to die (taking him out like a rabid dog that can only injure others before dying a horrible death)
- the handing off of the children (minus the ostrich that Obi-Wan is riding)

and

- MagnoliaFan's editing choices, particulary in Balance Of The Force


Overall, though, there was so much potential for the PT that was just lost in George's vision. Very little seems to match the spirit of the OT, and the Clone Wars were handled miserably, as was Anakin's fall from grace and the rise of the Emperor (how hard is it to make makeup that matches ROTJ?).
