- The Jedis just called them "apprentices", not "padawans". And they don't have to wear 80's rat tails.

- We cut out that "youngling" crap and just say "Anakin killed the children". That at least elicits an inherent human emotional response.

- General Grievous kicks ass like he did in Gennedy's "Clone Wars" shorts.

The real problem with the prequal were a couple of word choices. I agree. Major improvement already.

And I'd love to see Greivous as a stone-cold, silent, stalking, killing-machine with no character except being 'badass' like the Terminator. Or Darth Maul. Luca$h totally blew that one by giving him a personality and a voice.
