Here are some of my complaints:
-I didn’t think Padme would die so soon after giving birth. Leia said her mother was very sad and very kind which would have been consistent if they had let her live maybe a few years longer. I mean what happened? Did they just have some women pretend to be Leia’s real mom and stage her death?
Perhaps Leia had been aware of her adoption, but not entirely filled in on the details of her lineage?

- Obi-wan told Luke his father wanted him to have the light saber when he was old enough. Anakin didn’t even talk to obi-wan about his children.
Padding to encourage Luke.

- Granted the Emperor saved Vader’s life, but why would Vader still stay loyal to him after the Emperor told him how the dark side can save Padme. Basically the Emperor ruined his life. Also, Anakin knew she was still alive after the choke. Wouldn’t it have come across his mind that the Emperor may have killed her?
Well, that wouldn't have made much of a story for the original trilogy, would it? [grin]
I enjoyed it. Some of the guys I went with were disappointed, especially with the somewhat hypes non-character that was General Grevious (a Darth Vader tech demo, tbh). Grand Moff Tarken at the end was a nice touch (I missed some of the other "hidden" elements mentioned), Chewie was unnecessary, and Alderan looked like a hell of a holiday spot.
Whats really bothering me, however, is one line from ANH. I have the trilogy ordered on DVD, but its bugging me to see if this line was changed. There is the scene on the Death Star where Vader enters the room and declares that the Emperor has finally dissolved the Galactic Senate. Now, ANH is set 19(?) years after RotS, so after declaring an Empire, why would it take so long to finally gain absolute power?
