Windu's purple saber does seem like a dumbing down because all it does is make it easier to pick him out in a fight. So either change his or add more purple so it doesn't seem like a marketing ploy. His character should be able remarkable for reasons other than his favorite color.

Yeah, we didn't need help picking him out - he's the black dude! - but there are other purple sabres in the background in the Geonosis arena, I'm certain. Personally, I wouldn't like to see more of them as I don't like how his looks. Never really cared for Luke's green one, either.

Would there be a way to give the other council member's more of a role? Right now in the vanilla version, it all seems to fall on Windu and Yoda. Perhaps have Anakin consult with someone other than Yoda about his dream? Spread the blame around a bit?

I think Ki Adi Mundi gets plenty of screentime. He was a great character too (poor old Silas Carson gets killed three time!). I'm not sure we need to dilute screentime any further for the others. One or two bits of dialogue from the others would have been nice, I guess.

One thing that really DID irk me is that we only ever saw that one side of the Jedi Council chamber through all three movies. Couldn't one of them have been sitting across the other side? That decision renders those scenes incredibly undynamic, always shot the same way. I was sick of seeing it by the second movie, never mind the third.

That is a really good point. Never really thought of it but it would help the dynamics of the scenes.

The main reason Lucas kept the same angle in AOTC though is because it was the same damn footage(with some new CG characters replacing older CG characters). You'd think with ILM at his disposal and an Avid he could've switched it up still.
