The reference to sitting ducks makes sense given that we see ducks in Theed. Well, they look like ducks anyway.

And Anakin saying "from my point of view the Jedi are evil", well earlier in the film we see Palpatine going on about "points of view" (and I don't mean the BBC programme where people with better things to do write in to complain about the quality of Auntie Beeb's programmes) so I've always taken that line as being that of an easily manipulated character who still somehow knows he's in the wrong and is desperately trying to justify his actions (in the same way that I'm trying desperately to defend the dialogue in the prequels).

Nice avatar, Bingowings.
