My internet connection must be on the Fritz as when I first viewed it Mr Ben the youtube player skipped over the speeder take off.

After watching it again it really does play much better, it certainly feels more realistic and less cartoonish.

I'm a bit of a fan of the little confessional scene between Anakin and Yoda in ROTS.

If I were to change one thing I would drop the "shadow" from the line so Yoda makes a stronger link between attachment and greed.

It does seem like Yoda is more on the ball about Anakin's headspace than everybody else and I wish we had seen more like that from the PT Jedi.

The way it currently plays out Palpatine has a much too easy case to make, he hardly has to seduce Anakin to the darkside at all, the Jedi come across as stupid and callous and the Emperor though evil at least appears attentive.

Here Yoda is offering some kind of pastoral advice it's a shame it couldn't have been modified to appear in AOTC when younger Anakin is worrying about his mother.

I also wish something could be done about the scene where Anakin gets a council seat.

It would be better if he quietly sat down and simmered when Mace tells him he won't be a Master, openly bitching about it adds to the spoilt brat image which weakens the character.

He is almost Vader at this point and I just can't see Vader being that stroppy.
