Ill actullay have to say that that scene is of my top best S.W. scenes out of all 6 movies.
From the moment Plapatine gets up, after getting a can opened up on him by Windu, and walks up to Anakin saying "You are fullfilling your destiny, Anakin" up until just about after he says "show no mercy.." The dialouge that goes on between that part, i love.
I didn't like "Once more the Sith will rule the Galaxy!" He sounded constipated, lol.

fanboys, stereotyping of alien species as good or evil, and most bothersome, for a group of people who are supposed to be the greatest swordfighters, why is it that only yoda, Sidious, Assaj, Luke, and Anakin show any degree of ambidextrity?
Uh, I don't recall any stereotyping of alien species as good or evil.... I think that one's more a creation of the viewer than of the work itself.
And as for ambidexterity, it's not something people just randomnly do- it's the ability to use both hands equally well. Yoda and Sidious I don't recall -ever- using their offhand to attack, while Luke and Anakin have rarely used two blades and the latter especially sucked at it. Asaaj is a practitioner of a style that utilizes two blades, so she's presumably the only exception.
Asside from Lucas' crappy skills as a director, there are only two things that piss me off. People thinking Boba Fett is cool, when he's blatantly not. And more so, C-3PO. I wish that gold-plated homo could somehow be digitally removed from all versions of the movies. At least Artoo kicks ass and has personality.
One of my favorite SW moments, was when Artoo first deployed his rockets and flew. That was movie gold. The thing that gets me most about people thinking Boba Fett is cool, is not so much the fact that they like a character (I know people like Luke, although he's an incestuous hick) but the fact that there is no screen evidence of him ever being cool or slick, just him getting his ass kicked by Luke and Han. I think it's the self-delusion that gets me more than anything else...
I get very irratated when I see the same thing when there is dramatic talking going on. The person that is talking and is making you feel what they are feeling always turns away from who they're talking to. EX 1) When Obi-Wan tells Padme that Anakin killed younglings, EX 2) When Anakin tells Padme that the Jedi have started a rebellion, EX 3) On Mustafar, Anakin turns away from Obi-Wan as they're talking. It's just coincidental that all of these examples are from Episode 3.
