Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Yeah, saw the new Star Wars movie over the weekend. Loved it. Reviews all over the place. What they said. Dialogue not the best (except Sidious), Christensen is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite. Anakin’s turn to the dark side too quick. Great action scenes. Still some questions.
We also reckon that the reason Vader wore the suit/mask/helmet is not because he was burned and chopped up, it was because Padme kept calling him ‘Ani’:
“I am Darth Vader!”
“Are you suuuuuuure you’re not my little Ani?”
“No, I am the Dark Lord of the Sith!”
“You look a lot like my little Ani.”
“Right, that’s it, I’m going to wear a scary black mask and helmet.”
So, now I know the story, I can scour the internets for info.
Wiki — sooooo much to read.

Sith post-mortem.
Nearly fell asleep at the beginning. Shiite dialogue and stiff acting from that Christensen. God, he simply just cant act.
You are right, Anakin became a sith too quickly and there really was no explanation was there as to how many people you would have to kill or what level of anger you have to reach to complete the whole transformation process. Also, the question of why Anakin was conceived asexually was not answered at all.
I would say I went to see it for the sake of ‘closure’. Love the last bit when they zoomed the vader mask though.
How Anakin was born - not really mentioned, but Darth Sidious alluded to the fact Darth Plagueis had somehow found a way to cheat death by manipulating midi-chlorians. So maybe Plagueis manipulted them to create life?
