One remark about ROTS raised there by another user I'd like to comment on, though:

The fact that Anakin's concern for the clone is the only time we see how anyone feels about the clones. Technically, it's true... but...

that's the problem! It's part of the storytelling's fault that we never get to see that, so that little piece of "characterization" already feels shoehorned into the movie, like to get a "check" on a list or something.

Add to that Anakin's generally not all too noble behavior in II (he didn't do anything that awesome apart from trying to rescue his friends, and certainly nothing to help a clone soldier), now we've got this bit in the opening of III... to never come up again... yea right, BACKTRACKING.

RLM is 100% right there, and adding those elaborations was completely unneeded.

 

Just like Anakin spewing off techno babble and "spinning" technically doesn't speak against his piloting abilities, but it's just cheap, artificial and silly the way it's done.

"Stop feeding us this pig slop" :DDD

Oh man, the pig... the pig...
