A rotten movie

Why? Simply because there were no EMOTIONS involved. We all know Anakin's destiny - but missing was the crucial turning point element. Here we have Anakin at one point willing to slay Palpatine - being a Sith Lord, then a few scenes later Anakin is calling him master.Anakin then proceeds to butcher the "younglings" at the Jedi academy.Huh???? Did we feel anything for Anakin??? Nothing at all. He was not even a tortured soul - the decision to embrace the dark side seemed like a decision to buy a new brand of condom's. This was NOT a tragedy!!!! George Lucas RUINED the entire series with this movie. Everything was so dead with the execption of the Emperor - he was cold and pure evil!!! And there was no reason for Anakin to wear the "Black Life Support Suit" - Darth Vader's trademark suit. Here is a universe where technology is able to replace severed limbs and all. All Anakin was missing were his limbs - not to mentioned he was badly burned. Thats it. Could not his skin/flesh be healed (burn scars??. Mechanical limbs. Thats it. NO NEED for the suit. His lungs were fine when he was groaning on the table. Hell, the put him in the suit while his skin/flesh was still smoking!!! I think that hospitals in the nether regions of planet Earth could even treat burns better. There was not enought justification/motivation for Anakin to turn to the Dark Side. The Black Suit was unnecessary. The Death Star was already being built - when did Palpatine start building it?? And the late 1970's look for the Imperial Destroyers and the stupid military garb??? Has George Lucas gone mad??? It would take at least 20 years before the events in Episode IV unfold. The Death Star was to be a major secret in Episode IV. But here we have the Death Star being built - basically floating in space just waiting for Luke Skywalker to blow it up. 20 years go by before a "secret" is uncovered???? Question: When Anakin rested 2 lightsabers on Count Dooku's neck/shoulders, why did it not burn through him???? The Jedi's died too easily - at least some of them. What Lucas should have done was made Anakin first fight with Mace Windu as Anakin needed to keep Palpatine alive for the sake of Padme. Then after Mace Windu's death, Anakin gets into a row with the Jedi Council - Anakin is considered a renegade. The Jedi's turn to capture Anakin but in the process Padme is hurt(dies?? but the babies are safe - Anakin does not know. Obiwan responsible???). So now we have a major vendetta. Anakin slaughters the Jedi (including the "younglings"). Turns to the dark side as he hates everything - nothing to live for. Climatic duel with Obiwan where Anakin is seriously hurt -but somehow still alive. Anakin is reassembled piece by piece - brain/head/vital organs encased in a mechanical form - hence the suit. Question: At the end, why did Anakin not ask if the baby/babies survived??? ROTTEN MOVIE!!!!
