Do you actually think there'll be any ep 7-9

[Wayfarer]

Allright, you have some points, but overall, I still dissagree with you, because:

I compare anakin's 'romance' (if it can be called that) with padme, to Han's romance with leia. Anakin doesn't come out to favorably.

The way leia and han fought and bickered and went back and forth, but fell for eachother anyway, that was briliant.. The way anikin obessed over padme for ten years (since he was 10, which is way to young to start a crush) is kind of disturbing. Granted, that's the point, but I just don't see it as vader-esque. It's just too... petty. Anakin has none of the silent, looming power that vader and palpatine have.

The tusken raiders scene likewise felt incorrect. I suppose this is rather subjective, but it felt like a cheap B-movie, emotionally.

I suppose this is rather subjective of me, but having 'gone over to the dark side' during my teenage years, I don't think that the process is adaquately described in episode two. In fact, i think it was done rather horribly.

Of course. And it should be so... Anakin's not much of a charmer, and I don't think he's meant to be. He gets far too open about his emotions to have any sort of mystique about him like Han did with Leia. It's a completely different approach... or rather, Anakin lacked any sort of approach, and just poured his heart out. It's not like it's never been done.

'Granted, that's the point, but I just don't see it as vader-esque. It's just too... petty. Anakin has none of the silent, looming power that vader and palpatine have."

Disagree strongly. Being lazy, I'll just point to the whole sequence with him on Tatooine. Also, of course Anakin doesn't have any commanding presence yet in the same vein as Vader; he's not in a position or rank to do so.

"The tusken raiders scene likewise felt incorrect. I suppose this is rather subjective, but it felt like a cheap B-movie, emotionally."

This one, we'll just have to agree to disagree over. You must have seen some pretty damn good cheap B-movies. The swelling score and the closeup of the hatred boiling in his eyes when he realizes, shockingly, that his mother just died in his arms is, I find, one of the emotional pinnacles of the saga (albeit nowhere near the lightsaber duel climaxes of ESB and ROTJ).

"I suppose this is rather subjective of me, but having 'gone over to the dark side' during my teenage years, I don't think that the process is adaquately described in episode two. In fact, i think it was done rather horribly."

Then you must have been one of the rare people who did it right...

Heh.

I suppose it just comes down to subjectivity. I didn't like episode two that much, and anakin was one of the things that especially got to me.

On the other hand... I did like his performance during the first chase scene, and the way he is shown as idolizing palpatine was very good.

One last thing... was it just me, or did Anakin have an accent that made it slightly hard to understand him at times? A sort of slurring of his speech?

Not that I noticed. But I'm from Canada, so maybe it didn't strike me as an accent or anything out of the ordinary.

Probably not, but I WISH THERE WERE!

No.
