Spoiler Report: 2# Mask of Evil
The one thing everyone is wanting to get cleared is what Sidious actually looks like and why he doesn't look like that in Return of the Jedi the answer:
When Palpatine taps into his dark side powers he becomes Sidious with a evil vampire like face....and he is like this when he is fighting Yoda, the truth Yoda absorbs all of Sidious lightning energy and blasts it in his face giving Sidious the look he has in the Original Trilogy. So he goes from Vampire like to ancient human like.

Today's spoiler report from MF with dialog.
EPISODE III TERNIAN REPORT: Choices
"You can't stop change any more than you can stop the suns from setting. Listen to your feelings; Anakin, you know whats right." Shmi Skywalker, Episode I
"Fear is the path to the Dark side...fear leads to anger...anger leads to hate...hate leads to suffering." Master Yoda, Episode I
"You're going to die in childbirth." - Anakin Skywalker, Revenge of the Sith
"Rise, Lord Vader." Emperor Palpatine, Revenge of the Sith
"Wait!" cries Anakin, grabbing Mace's arm from delivering the final blow. "Don't kill him...you just can't kill him Master. "
"Yes I can," replies Mace, "I have to."
"You came to arrest him. He has to stand trial. "
"A trial would be a joke. He controls the courts. He controls the Senate."
"So are you going to kill all of them too?" asks Anakin. "Like he said you would?"
Mace yanks his arm free. "He's too dangerous to be left alive. If you could have taken Dooku alive, would you have?
Anakin stares at Mace, "That was different."
"You can explain the difference after he's dead," replies Mace sternly.
"I need him alive! I need him to save Padme!" says Anakin to a bewildered Mace.
But Mace just turns and is about to finish his final strike against The Sith when Anakin unleashes his anger and cuts off Mace's saber hand. Sidious suddenly jumps to his feet and unleashes Force lightning of immense power, lifting Mace up and throwing him out of the broken window to his death below.
Once Mace is killed, Anakin pledges his attachment to the Sith Order. Sidious gives him the title DARTH VADER and instructs him in his first mission... sterilization of the Jedi Temple.
i'm not sure i heard that anakin and mace actually have an all out duel from, well, "semi-official" sources.....just that anakin deals the final blow, "right through the chest".....maybe heard something about a three-way back and forth between them and palpatine, but it was very vague, and not particularly solid sounding....so. many different versions, all from people who swear that they're "totally in the know, man", and no real reason to believe one over another particularly, at this point.....but anyone feel free to prove otherwise.....

Anakin Skywalker™ Lightsaber™ Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
http://www2.masterreplicas.com/StarWars/SWProduct.aspx?sItemID=SW-131
After three years on the front lines of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker’s incredible feats have made him a hero throughout the Republic and earned him full Jedi Knight status. Now, as the Clone Wars reach their devastating climax, Anakin returns to Coruscant for a daring rescue that earns him an appointment to the Jedi Council but is only reluctantly accepted by his fellow Jedi.
While continuing to conceal his marriage to Padmé Amidala, Anakin worries that his nightmares of Padmé dying in childbirth may be prophetic, and the young Jedi is determined to find a way to save her.
Seduced by promises of unlimited power and the hope of stopping death, Anakin plunges down the path to the dark side that has been carefully laid before him. Betraying the Jedi and those closest to him, Anakin Skywalker transforms into the most terrifying incarnation of evil – the Sith Lord Darth Vader.
The weapon Anakin wields represents the lightsaber that will one day be handed down to his son, Luke.
Obi-Wan Kenobi™ Lightsaber™ Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
http://www2.masterreplicas.com/StarWars/SWProduct.aspx?sItemID=SW-130
“General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars…” Leia Organa, Senator of Alderaan
In the years since the onset of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi has become a Jedi Master serving as a General in the ongoing war against the Separatists. After rescuing Chancellor Palpatine from the clutches of General Grievous, the dreaded commander of the droid armies, Obi-Wan tracks Grievous to the sinkhole planet of Utapau, where he must destroy him if the war is to end.
By the time Obi-Wan returns to Coruscant, the Republic has fallen, and his worst fear is realized – his former Padauan Anakin Skywalker has turned to the dark side and become Darth Vader, a Dark Lord of the Sith. Now, Obi-Wan must confront – and destroy – his former apprentice. On the volcanic lava planet of Mustafar, old friends turned fierce enemies face off in the ultimate lightsaber battle that will forever change the destiny of a galaxy…
In this climactic Star Wars movie, Obi-Wan Kenobi is armed with a new lightsaber - built when he ascended to the Jedi Council. Since this new weapon represents the one used by Obi-Wan in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, the prop department referenced available archive materials and machined a similar looking hilt in aluminum, with brass and resin details.
Taking the World War 1 grenade and faucet handle details of the original they cleverly reworked them into a narrower, more streamlined design. This not only made the hilt easier to wield in the many fast and furious lightsaber fights, it allowed it to fit into the design.
Yoda™ Lightsaber™ Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
http://www2.masterreplicas.com/StarWars/SWProduct.aspx?sItemID=SW-133
While the Clone Wars ravage the galaxy, the wise Jedi Master Yoda senses the dark side of the Force surrounding Chancellor Palpatine. When the Separatists invade the Wookiee world of Kashyyyk, Yoda leads the Republic's clone army into battle. Assisted by the mighty Wookiees Chewbacca and Tarfful, Yoda barely escapes a surprise ambush when the Clone Wars take a fateful turn.
Upon his return to Coruscant, Yoda learns the terrible truth. With the Jedi™ decimated, and the Republic reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, Yoda must face the new Emperor in the ultimate confrontation between the greatest wizards of the Force in the galaxy.
For Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, Yoda is armed with his elegant lightsaber, which remains largely unchanged from its original appearance in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. The small, six-inch long silver device is augmented with the same control buttons and protective shroud at the front of the emitter. While it may seem ungainly in human hands, its diminutive size is a perfect fit for the hands of the elfish Jedi Master. Since Yoda was again created digitally for Episode III, his lightsaber is also a digital construct. ILM again worked their magic to bring Yoda and his trusty weapon to life on the big screen.
New one at MF.com from Ternian:
"Your time is over! The Sith rule the galaxy! Now and forever!" says Sidious.
Suddenly, in Yoda's hand, a new creation is born from the Jedi that had secretly bonded themselves together over the last millenia - a blade of light.
"At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was, I must
say," replies Yoda.
Then, from a hidden place within his robe, Sidious pulls back the cloth and a small weapon falls into his hand.
When the blades meet, it is more than Yoda against Palpatine,
more the millennia of Sith against the legions of Jedi; it is the expression of the fundamental conflict of the universe itself.
Light against dark.
