Rewatching Buffy it was remarkable to me how similar structurally the Buffy vs Faith fights were to the Obi-Wan vs Anakin one (if you string the Slayer fights together they kind of add up to one Jedi vs *Chosen One smackdown).

The difference was I cared much more about Faith the multiple murderess and attempted strangle rapist than Anakin the child murdering, domestic abuser who killed all his friends and installed a dark wizard as a despot.

The mayor was a better political villain than PT Palpatine.

Even the Jedi highschool gets blown up.

I'd encourage anyone attempting to improve the PT to watch or rewatch season 3 of Buffy to see how it's done.
