I think I am most looking forward to seeing Darth Vader kick some Jedi A$$, before he gets all the medical enhancments that turn him in to the creature we recognise from Ep IV A New Hope.

I'm looking forward to lightsaber duel after lightsaber duel. After seeing the most recent Episode III TV ad, "Unite", I think there are at least four instances of lightsaber dueling: Anakin and Obi Wan versus Dooku, Obi Wan versus General Grievous, Yoda/Mace Windu/etc. versus Palpatine, and Obi Wan versus Anakin. All that on-screen action should cut down on the time available for the kind of melodrama we saw in Episode II.

Seeing Palpatine in a full-on physical fight, i.e., not mere mind games.

Obi Wan vs. Grevius. The Obi Wan/ Jango Fett fight was by far the best thing in Ep II, so this should be far better.
...and Anakin's deep-fry, of course.

Padme crying her pretty little eyes out. Stupid women who fall for macho pretty boys and expect everything to work out fine kind of irtritate me.

"Macho"? He was a whiny-ass little twat. And really creepy when they were alone together.
Frankly, the only thing she could possibly have seen in him is the fact that he had a big lightsaber and knew how to handle it.

He always reminded me of Papalazerou from the League Of Gentlemen. I could just seeing him hugging Padme and saying "you're my wife now!"

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

OK... maybe macho isn't the right word. Arrogant. Petulant. Pissy. Self abosorbed. High school football player-ish. Plus he goes and slaughters a whole tribe of sand people and she doesn't pick up on his instability. And yes... the creepiness. Basically red flags everywhere which were ignored due to his mad hunkiness. Well... that and the wicked Jedi mind juju he was probably throwing her way.

Of course, the alternative of not being an insane maniac would have just resulted in Padme saying "I love you, but only as a friend".
Bitch.
