This is my biggest fear - unless it's suddenly announced ROTS has a running time equal to Return of the King! Not only do we have to see Anakin turn to the dark side (in a believable way, I might add), but we also have to see some history of Obi-Wan trying to turn him back before their climatic battle. (As referenced by Vader in ROTJ when he says to Luke, "Obi-Wan once thought as you do.")

Not to mention Lucas has to fill in all those plot holes and inconsistencies, which would probably take a movie just for that (and we have to see the Jedi being exterminated, the Empire rising, and so on and so on).

As someone else put it, it'll be like watching a magician do as many tricks as he can in two hours.
