I just wanted to mention something that I haven't found in any post on the forum, although I'm sure someone has mentioned it somewhere.
In ANH Obi-Wan talks to Luke for the last time and says "Your destiny lies along a different path than mine. The Force will be with you. Always." after which Chewbacca barks a comment and Han shakes his head in agreement saying: "Boy you said it, Chewie. Where did you dig up that old fossil?"
Obviously Chewbacca thinks all this talk about the force is nonsence.
You wouldn't think that Chewie was best friends with Yoda, the top dog of the jedi-council now would you? Hats of to Mr Lucas for yet another inconsistency.

This scene where Mace Windu is taking down Palpitine like his bitch is one of my most hated scenes.
This is one of THE most important scenes of the entire series. This is where Anakin turns to the Dark Side and becomes Dart Vader. Clearly Anakin knows that Palpitine is a Sith of the most dangerous kind, yet when the BIG MOMENT comes he wimps out like a wet dog.
Moments before Anakin "turns" he seems to be reveling in Mace Windu's overpowering Palpitine. Yet, all it takes is a little wimpering by the clearly manipulative Palpitine/Lord Sidius and Anakin wimps out and helps Palpisidious take down Mace Windu. Instead of coming off as dark and evil - like the future Darth Vader should be - he comes off as child who's just been pushed down to the ground by the school bully.
And to think that George Lucas had the audacity to put down "Spiderman 3" as having no story. As if Episodes 1-3 had any real story to them. Your "Reasons to Hate..." are perfect examples of how little consistency exist in the Star Wars series, as fun as some of them were to watch.

One: What that?
Two: That nothing! Get back to work.
Or something such. Anyway, I hate this because it is EXACTLY what happens in Episode IV, when Obi-Wan is sneaking around the Shield Generator and he's caught by two stupid Stormtroopers. [Thanks to the 2004 Cut, the troopers now say the lines with a certain New Zealand accent from 1995's "Barb Wire".]
I hate this because R2 doesn't have Jedi powers to fool the droids, unless he can reprogram things from a distance and wirelessly now (in addition to his now infamous rocket boosters).
And I hate this because it is lazy. Lucas said he sees these as a poem with certain verses repeating or such. But what does it have to do with anything in regards to the saga? Nothing. It's just one of the many, many times he pulls out a reference to the original trilogy, which he does at every possible opportunity. Artistic integrity, indeed!
Maybe I overdid it. As Mike Nelson pointed out, SW3ROTS has the dubious distinction of being the "best" of the "new" Star Wars movies. I really just find this particular three seconds especially lazy.

That "save Padme" concept that Lucas tried to float as a reason for Anakin to bitch out to Palpitine was surely one of the most insulting reasons conceived. It was obvious to everyone - but Anakin - that Palpitine was using Anakin's fear of Padme's health as a tool to get him to do his bidding.
Here was a case where Anakin knew that Palpitine was a Sith, and therefore inherently manipulative and untrustworthy. Yet, he blindly bought into the idea that Palpitine - who he soon realized was actually Lord Sidius - would help him "save" Padme from a death he only imagined in a dream. All because mommy died the same way. That's known as a Messiah Complex in most psychological journals.
What happens? Anakin was so busy turning into Darth that he wasn't around to "save" Padme. Like the Sith, Lucas' story was manipulative and untrustworthy.

What is the way he fears Padme is going to die? Unless I've forgotten we are never told and never shown.
What I can understand is that he doesn't wish to lose Padme as well as his mother, but unless he has good reason to believe he will do so none of his actions make sense.
All he has are his premonitions.

Christensen is a complete waste of potential, but an absolute talent when it comes to taking on the wrong roles to further his career (see Jumper). Sorta like Leonardo DiCaprio once upon a time.
Portman looks nice, but so far hasn't done a lot of great work. Was a nice accessoire in Pirates, unbelievable in V for Vendetta and somehow out of place in Star Wars.
McGregor had some good scenes with Moulin Rouge! some lousy scenes with The Island (though he still kinda managed to wing that one), and then some very bad "aging" within Star Wars.
Samuel is the most talented of the whole bunch, I guess. Really didn't show in Star Wars though.
