That's good emotional film making for you.
And how come people always lay into Obi-Wan for cocking up, but always have hero worship for Yoda, who was responsbile as well? Where's your "War Makes not One Great" policy NOW, little green guy!

This may have already been discussed, but out of Episode 2 and Episode 3, which do you assume will be the better of the two?
And, will be good enough to beat Empire Strikes Back? (or whatever your previous favourite SW film was)
I'm looking forward to the darkness of Episode 3, although something tells me its climax/conclusion might not be very exciting or satisfying. The cliffhangar at the end of Episode 2 will be superb (I hope).
Still, Episode 3 I think will be best of the prequel trilogy (if not the entire saga)

I just got the new Aurra Sing figure and it had an info booklet-type thing in it. So I thought I'd share some of this knowledge:____________________________________________________________
"Trained by the rogue Jedi, the Dark Woman, this former Jedi apprentice is shrouded in as much mystery as her former master.Claiming to have been sold to the Sennex Pirates by the Dark Woman, Aurra was later purchased by Walla the Hutt as a dancing girl. Realizing she would be more valuable as a killer than as a pleasure slave, Walla sent her to be trained as an assassin by the Anzati.
Aurra Sing now employs her prowess and training as a bounty hunter. She despises Jedi and derives pleasure from stalking Force-sensitive prey. Aurra carries a trophy case of several lightsabres as a testament to her skill"
____________________________________________________________This would explain why she was at the podrace in Ep1 (watch her, she sees all the others fly past but only follows anakin's pod). She must be onto something in Ep1-probably Palpy's payroll.
I don't know whether you all knew this from the DH comics and stuff, but it's for people like me who don't read them.

What I really don't understand is why she would be out bounty hunting on Tatooine. I was under the impression, from what I'd read, that the Tatooine scenes would only see the introduction of C3PO and the Lars family and death of Shmi and a few Tusken Raiders. I don't see why Darth Sidious/Tyrannus would know of Padme or Anakin being there and have bounty hunters waiting for them.
