Its the 10 years in ebwteen I and II that throws it off...

What Lucas should have done was start the trilogy with Episode II. Everything in Episode I was hardly necessary to understand the saga as a whole. We didn't have to see where Han met Chewie in the original trilogy, we don't need to see where Obi-Wan met Anakin or where Anakin met Padmé, etc. There would have to be more explanation of Anakin in the opening scroll, and then more explanation of the Separatists within the movie, but it would have worked better with the trilogy overall...

Then Episode III should have been split in two. One focusing more on Anakin's corruption; the next on him actually turning into Darth Vader.

It would have been better.

Me and my friend were discussing that the other day, and basically came up with the exact same idea you did...

Mostly based on Episode I being faaaairly pointless to the overall plot, and Anakin's turn to the dark side (after he actually became Darth Vader) going by just a little too fast...

Yeah, I think its a pretty obvious solution and general consensus by those who think about it...

Super great movie! The NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! was great. That Lizard did get annoying after awhile. I enjoyed the progresstion of technology and designs to what we are all familiar with from the originals.
That has to be the best field trip I have ever been on.

Field trip eh?

Solid snake and I are hard at work, crafting a clone trooper helmet. We are still is the carving a mold stage, I'll take pictures at a later date when it doesn't just look like a block of plaster.

[Spoiler ahead]

I just watched it today. I really think it's the best SW movie, with the dark theme and all.

But one thing I didn't understand is, why did the clones go dark? Something I missed in II, maybe? Sifo Dyas was dark as well? Anybody?

The clones were under control of the empire. The Jedi were able to fight alongside, because beforehand, they were WITH the empire.

But then the emporer turned everyone against the jedi, namely the clones. It's like the US government turning the Army/Navy/Airforce against the FBI, or something.

It wasn't the Empire... it was the Galactic Republic. The Emperor or.. Sideous created a plot that incriminated the JEDI for trying to overthrow the Republic, namely the Supreme Senator. If you heard once Anakin turned, he holo'd every Clone and said,

"Every single Jedi is now... an Enemy of the Republic"

And as the senate went into hiding, Sideous gained supreme power over the Republic, making it a Imperialist kingdom, thus Empire.

The Senate didn't go into hiding... The Emperor needed them to help maintain control over some of the systems... In Episodes IV there are still talks of the senate...

"LEIA: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the
Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan..."

They talk about how the Rebellion will continue to gain support in the Senate, and then finally:

"TARKIN: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us.
I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council
permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept
away."

I thought that Episode III was really good overall. I think that it tied in very well to ANH, but I do agree with Link1130 in that they should have split this one up and showed more of Anakin as Darth Vader. I also thought that Anakin kneeled down before Palpatine way too quickly, even as it was happening....I was just like...wait...just a second ago you were against him..and now you're kneeling to him. Too bad he didn't see Palpatine battaling with Mace Windu, with lightsaber, because when he came onto the scene, Windu had Palpatine cornered, making him seem weak..and in trouble..and making Windu seem like the bad guy.

Also, I thought that the part where Palpatine put on that Act 66...well I know that's not the correct name, but when he put that into effect..it was really...REALLY emotional. It was really awful seeing all of the Jedi go down like that, and whoever mentioned John Williams going overboard was right, because without that music the effect would not have been as strong. And then..the younglings...even I said...."oh my god, the children?" I was really shocked..and that just showed how dark Anakin had become. It was sad and very powerful. It was weird when only Yoda and Obi-Wan were the only two Jedi left...even though that's how it always was in IV - VI..I just wasn't used to there only being two Jedi. Revenge of the Sith really put into perspective what the true situation in IV - VI was. When I watch the original trilogy from now on, I will see how great the conflict truly is, and I know that the second Death Star being blown up will be even more powerful, and when Darth Vader leaves the dark side in the end. I was very pleased with Revenge of the Sith.

Oh. Ok. Thanks.

I can't believe I couldn't understand that.
