-Though it won't set the world on it's ear, Christensen acting is so much better in this one. His I hate you to Obi Wan was chilling, and I could really see the last vistage of Anakin in those words.
True, Christensen managed to pull off a good job of anger and anguish after he turned.

-The lightsabre scenes were all well done, and much better than Menance and Clones battle combined. I especially like Palpatine/Mace, Palpatine/Yoda and Anakin/Obi Wan (though Id would've like to seen a little more dialogue in this one). While none will equal Vader/Luke 1 and 2, these remain very good moments in the whole PT.
The duels were - blah. The Mace/Plaps duel was silly, from begining to end. The Yoda/Palps duel was better than vs Dooku in AOTC, but Palps had to spoil it by acting like a demented idiot. The only duel which got a reaction from me was the first few minutes of the Obi-wan/Vader duel. Was done really well, though too long and I have a few minor consistency quibbles.

-Anakins walking into the Jedi Temple was awesome
Yes. The look on his face when he decides to kill the younglings was great. But I would have liked to have him kill a few Jedi too, just for consistency.

-Most of Palpy's scenes after he becomes Emperor are good. Over the top, but it suits his character IMO.Palpy is one of the most fun (and evil) villians in movie history.
Ian was better as the Emperor than as Palps. Some parts - like the fighting - stunk though.

-McGregor was Alec Guiness's Obi Wan in this one. Awesome, awesome job.
True. I really liked McGregor as a younger Oni-wan. Some really bad lines though.

-Both Leia and Luke with their new "parents" were well done
The Alderaan scene was OK. Looked forced and the backdrop just seemed as CGI. The Luke sunset was well done, nice score.

-Bail Organa was a very likable hero
He had a far bigger role than I thought, but i'm glad.

-The Clones looking like stormtroppers was a nice foreshadowing
Ugh, the clones.... have I mentioned I hate Temuera Morrison?? No less hundreds of him. I can't stand the accent. It's just awful. And they showed the storm troopers without their helmets - sacrilege!!! Why is GL buttering up to a nothing actor with a nothing character??? And what’s up with the colour coding?

-Anakin's physical transformation into Vader was very good, from his burning by the lave to his suit getting put on him
I agree, it could have been better though.
