Yeah but its also HORRIBLE acting. James Earl Jones delivers the lines like he'd rather be reading anything else. If it was well done it might be excusible

Oh man, we are now using Cingular commercials as a reason to cry about Darth Vader's Noooooo... Wow... I weep for the future.

That line could have been emoted fifteen other ways. It's only a matter of record now, worthy of nitpicking. Sweeping score beneath included.
Oops... responded to my own post. Oh well... What I said about the crying about the Vader Noooo, that was for you.

That's true. That doesn't mean that I can excuse a scene as utterly awful as that was, though.

It reminded me of a Shelly Frankenstein novel.

Yes, that too... Anti-science propaganda isn't the first thing my mind hops to; but then I'm biased.

1) Anakin hasn't appeared any more powerful than any other Jedi in the prequels!---NO POWERFUL---and drop the 'but he has so many midi's b.s.' That doesn't cut it! I want to SEE him powerful so that he is of value to Palpatine, and he isn't
2) Lucas himself said that Vader is now "pathetic" as a Jedi.... so, AGAIN... what is the point to Palpatine saving him!?
If Palpatine had made efforts to retain his apprentices, I may accept this, but Maul is expendable in I and Dooku is summarily done away with in III.

Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"
All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

The best way I can explain a nitpicker's response to a similar situation is as follows.
*The scene takes place in a hospital late at night. The Nitpicker was drunk driving with his girlfriend and got into a huge car accident. Several people were killed, although the Nitpicker barely survived*
DOCTOR: Nitpicker, can you hear me?
NITPICKER: Yes, Doctor. Where is my girlfriend? Is she all right?
DOCTOR: I'm afraid that in your refusal to allow a sober person to drive, you got into a huge car accident. Five people have been killed, including your girlfriend. Furthermore, you have lost the ability to use both of your arms and legs....
Normal Human Response
NITPICKER(emotions of anger, guilt, and regret building up):Noooooo!
Nitpicker's Response
NITPICKER(exhibiting no emotions):Drat. Anyhow, get me another beer.

Luke screams "Noooooo!" when he finds out Darth Vader is his father.
The scene worked well for me. I was easily able to sympathize for him.
