Saw Episode III yesterday, loved it!!

Feel bad for poor Darth Vader though - I think he just needed a hug!

Or a kick in the arse, perhaps!

Yeah i saw it Saturday. I was not really sold on his turn to the dark side, seemed more like just wimping out to me. Just kind of a whiner.

Am I wrong for thinking of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

Obi Wan: "You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to bring balance to the Force and whatnot!"

Anakin: "It's only a flesh wound! Come back here, I'll bite your legs off!"

Er, no. The association is very straightforward.

Those two guys are Darwin Awards in training..

As for the movie - while his turn seemed rather fast - I saw it explained this way - the guy was on the edge for a while - even since episode II you saw him kind of swinging that way - and after the whole deal with Mace Windu (don't wanna give away too much for those who haven't seen) he basically figured -" welp.. I just messed everything up - there's no going back now."

And I give Hayden Christensen some credit for that - he's not a very good actor to begin with - and George Lucas isn't a very good dialogue writer.. that would have been a hard scene for anyone to really do convincingly.

It's not like there's a precedent for our Darth to hop over to ther other side of the fence over the space of a few short moments. Look what happened at the end of Return of the Jedi. He's clearly a serial fence hopper!

I think having to act opposite Ian McDiarmid probably pulled Hayden up somewhat. When your opposite someone who's being all wooden and crap like Portman and to a certain extent, Ewan Macgregor (although I put most of that down to the reservedness of his character), it's not so obvious to the director... butput him oppoite someone who can act... that's a different story.

Ian McDiarmid was fantastic - all hammy and psychotic. It was great when he was chucking stuff at Yoda and giggling like a maniac!
