One thing that Plinkett brought up that I was a little disappointed we didn't get to see in ROTS was the effects of the war on Coruscant....

That's one of many reason why the "Clone Wars" (2D) cartoon kicked ass.

Man... I love that cartoon so much. It tried to be amazing - despite the fact it was prequel related - and it succeeded on so many levels. Clone Troopers weren't pussies - we saw them kick ass and use all sorts of cool-looking weapons. Anakin and Obi Wan were both tough and even had comrade moments that showed us how friendly and loyal they were towards each other. General Grievous was stoic and darn intimidating - not like the coughing hunchback we got in ROTS. Droids weren't annoying (surprisingly!) and they even tried to flesh out some of the prequel background characters.

Those guys got it right. And they should make another one.

I was watching "Clone Wars" bonus features on DVD and, man, I can't even describe how much I respect those guys. They truly were Star Wars fans. I especially liked how they said they sat down and rewatched OT to try and bring their childhood memories back - what they thought  happened before ANH when they were kids. How they said - if you wanna make it good you have to go back to OT.

I know this pretty much off topic, but I just think that "Clone Wars" is what the PT should have been like - awesome.
