What do you think will be the best

YI think you're right on that one.

I also think queeq has a point about R2, why did they take him of Mos Espa????

Well, IMHO he didn't need the droids at all in the PT. They just serve as some kind of SW trade mark. Which I think is weak since the entire design and style of SW is (or should be) unique. If only GL believed in it a bit more...

And as for confirming the identity of Palpy to both the audience and the characters. I don't think that will happen. Spoilers have it that Dooku will meet Palpy and call him master or Lord Sidious or something. So we get it first as we should, but I felt we should have had that in EP1 as well. Now, neither Palpy or Sidious make any sense: one dimensional characters. To a non-fan that is, we know better. Yet, GL should have made it clear, perhaps he was afraid keeping this secrecy towards the main characters would be a hard thing to do for two movies straight. I think Sidious being revealed will take until Ep3. Dooku is Palpy's front man in Ep 2.

I think you're right about Palpy being revealed as Sidious, but I think this will give the Non-fans a better apreciation of the character in the end.

With the grand master of suspense in mind I must totally diagree with you. By doing that you expect non-fans to remember the two previous movies, including one from 6 years earlier. That is most unlikely to happen.

I can't see how it could do anything but help people take notice of Sidious. In OT he was pretty vague. Atleast this gives him a little bit of flair, so to speak.

I think it has to be revealed in Episode-II, as queeq said, the general movie going public can easily forget.

Proably revealed in a similar way to the "I am your father.." scene with big confimation then appearing in Episode-III.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Not the "I am your father"- line again. 😂 😂

Not in that style, but just the idea that it is introduced further in the 2nd but only confirmed in the 3rd.

Just pulling your leg, RC.

Yeah, but he's got a point...I forgot that GL likes to pull stuff like that.

Well, that one was pretty good. Repetition will make it bad.

Bad indeed! I think GL knows enough basic filmmaking not to do that.

Yup, he won't. Maybe we'll leave Ep2 with Anakin's face turning gloomy for some reason.

I heard it was meant to end with a 'choice' of some sort.

Well, a sort of ambiguity yes. I mean, as far as I know, it ends with the wedding. With sort of the choice for a path to choose being there. Too bad we all know what path will be chosen. That's why the cliffhanger will never work as well as the one in ESB. I mean, I was wondering all the time before ROTJ came out, if Vader was right at all. If he was his true Father, or just symbolically as a father-of-evil that would make him become who he was: another dark Jedi, his destiny...
So that cliff really hung there, but this one...

Wait, I thought Ep2 was supposed to end on a down note like ESB?..Didn't McCallum say something about this one not ending with a parade or celebration?

There will be some kind of edge to the wedding I'm sure. But that must be the ending, otherwise the climax would be too early on in the film. The wedding is at the end, that much is clear. But Ani may be making a big mistake here, or something is revealed about the Clone Wars.
A spoiler has it that Yoda says something at the end of Ep2 along the lines of: "Begun the Clone Wars have..." Maybe Anakin's absence is what's causing a problem, who knows... Well, GL does.

Doesn't really sound like what GL and co suggest when they say 'a choice'.

I don't know. How much choice does Anakin have anyway? He'll turn to the dark side. I mean, that's a little bit the problem with the PT anyway: we know what will happen. And we know who will survive into the OT. So getting us identifying with and feeling for Anakin is basically the biggest thing they can achieve, all the other things are just fun and exciting. I think having a cliffhanger on Anakin may not be the best choice.

I disagree; I think the fact that we know lends it weight.
