in ESB theres a funny scene:

3PO - captain solo, might i have a word with you please?

Han Solo - what do you want?

3PO- Princess Leia has been trying to contact you on the communicator -

Solo - I turned it off, I don;t want to talk to her

3PO- Oh....well, Princess Leia is wondering about master luke, he hasn't come back yet...she doesn't know where he is -

Solo - I don't know where he is!

3PO - Nobody knows where he is!

is there anything like this in the PT? this kind of clever banter between 2 characters?! maybe the first few minutes between anakin and obi-wans on grevious's ship? good god, almost all of TPM, the movie is -

one character saying something

panaka saying he disagrees or feels it won't work

first character say to trust their judgment.

its such a joke. by the time we get to ROTS, the dialog isn't as gag inducing, but its just there to move the plot along. thats all the characters do. RLM made a joke of how none of the characters in TPM are memorable. Whats even worse is - except anakin and palpatine - so much of the dialog is interchangeable for the different characters, it wouldn;t have mattered who said what. Lucas refused to take any effort and time into creating characters.
