I love it when threads like this pop up in Reservation! That way my replies won't get deleted! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway...
1. How would having pre-helmet Vader holding a red lightsaber be such a cosmic thing? As mentioned, his blue saber is given to Luke years later. Notice Obi-Wan picking it up after Anakin is toast? Seeing him with a red one just for shits & giggles isn't important.
2. As noted, play the fucking game then.
3. I have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Notice Palpy/Sid puts on his cloak later? And why would he stop to say
"excuse me, Master Jedi, I must put on my cloak before you arrest me so I look tougher instead of cheesy?"
4. The Imperial theme is there, it's just not an exact repeat of the arrangement we hear in AOTC, ESB or ROTJ. Listen for it.
5. Right, there's just not enough lightsaber fights in the movie...
6.
"You underestimate my power" is Anakin being too full of himself, not sly and shifty like Dooku or Sidious. He probably hasn't learned how to shoot electricity out of his fingernails yet. And his Force jump is badass. It's just that Obi-Wan has the "higher ground" and ultimately it is Anakin who underestimates the power of his opponent.
Lucas has made a 12-hour long fucking movie. Stop thinking like a goddamn Trekkie and sit down and watch it sometime!
