I like this thread. It is interesting to talk about. I don' t care whether they were discussed when the book came out because I remained spoiler free for the movie, I wasn't about to come to some boards and look at photos and read what ifs till kingdom come. The trailer spoiled a lot of the movie as well.
Seeing Han Solo would have been good. Heck we saw Luke & Leia & Chewie, why not? Dooku's attack on Mrs. Skywalker is an interesting take.
Meh, I'm glad GL decided to be less of a parody expert when it came to ROTS in -some- respects. Han would have been out of place. I think Chewbacca was stupid. I think Jango and Boba Fett was an appeal to a fanbase, not some grand plan. If anything, the PT looks more slapped together than the latest episode of Junkyard Wars at times. But I still would have thought that the Obi-Wan/Padme thing woulda been cool.
"You're with him!"
"Damn straight, Anakin. You missed out when you killed younglings. No sex for you, "sith lord"!"
Won't let me edit my post beyond 15 mins after posting. 🙁 Anyway, more of my thoughts on the Sifo Dyas-->Sidouus thing: Sidious ordered the clones for the Republic so they could get rid of that pesky Trade Feneration that kept p***ing him off, then he gave the order for them to kill the Jedi. BTW, Case closed...
