Because Lucas probably thought a floating chair was a neat and cute idea, like giving yoda a frickin lightsaber.

Or Jar Jar Binks in Episode 1, you get the picture?

I think the Emperor and yoda having sabers weakens them as characters.

And where was that badass fight Sam Jackson hinted at between Windu and Anakin?

He just gets his hand chopped off and pushed out a window like a total wimp.

Talk about underusing Samuel Jackson.

What another lightsaber duel would have been one too many?

The acting in Episode III is also unbelievably bad. "UNLIMITED POWERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

kenobi :Don't try it Anakin I have the high ground

Anakin: You underestimate my powerrr!!!!! ( does three back flips in the air before getting all his limbs but his metal arm cut off in one go.)

I was watching the movie just a few minutes the other night on tv. And was take aback at just how Awful Ian Mcdiarmid and Hayden are.

Ian can act i have seen him in other films where he was not haming it up and phoning it in.

Hayden on the other hand cannot act period. Every movie i have seen him in has been an awful performance.
