That's one huge post for being entirely about the little things you enjoyed in the PT.
...and I agree with a lot of them too. Guess it's those little moments that don't make the PT entirely unbearable. Probably why many fanedits work. Too bad they really don't make up for the bigger problems.
I think the thing with Anakin is simply that Lucas thought the best way to write a 'troubled Jedi' would be to write him as an angsty teenager. I sorta doubt that many actors could've pulled off Anakin as written and make him remotely bearable, so I kinda feel that Hayden gets a lot of undeserved flak for that performance.
...anyhow, I liked all the little continuity nods and jokes and whatnot. Obi-Wan's "you'll be the death of me" line always makes me smile a bit.
