    I loved it. Great cast, good story and the final duel was awesome. Possibly my new fav lightsaber fight. The transporter technology in the last ep was a bit much, but other than that I have no major complaints.

    The only issue I had was that, once again, Obi Wan has Vader at his mercy and chooses to walk away instead of landing the killing blow. I know both have to stay alive in order for the rest of the movies to work, but it makes Obi Wan look incredibly foolish. I think a stalemate of some kind would have worked better.

    Perhaps killing someone isn't all that easy.

    He knew Anakin since he was kid and watched him grow up. It wouldn't be easy to do, even if you should.

    The best time to do that would've been the end of ROTS. A Darth Malgus style suit would've been a good choice.

    I was thinking something like that as well. He’s trying out a new suit but it gets destroyed by Kenobi.
    It’s not like you need to hide his face from him.

    Mace Windu had no issue with ending an Emporer who was begging for his life.:shrug:

    Mace was always a very cold guy. He was basically a Vulcan with his reasoning.

    Hmmm...
    Yeah, that should cover it. Mace had no attachment to Palpatine. Obi-Wan has to get to that place. Probably with Qui-Gon's help.

    That's not what happens. He beats him and then tells him he's under arrest.

    He also watched him kill innocent children on a holorecording as well as innocent people on Tattoine. He also knows that this guy is responsible for numerous dead jedi as well as suffering across the entire galaxy. Attachments are forbidden so by him not killing Vader he looks weak as a jedi.

    Then he says he's going to end it once and for all because the emporer is too dangerous to be left alive. Did you forget why Anakin chopped Windus hand off?

    And then he tells Anakin that Palpatine controls the Senate and the courts, that he'll never see justice and it's too dangerous for him to be left alive, and winds up for the coup de grace before Anakin stops him.

    Anakin, with regards to killing Dooku after he was captured; "Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner. I shouldn't have done that, it's not the Jedi way."

    Palpatine likely enjoyed the Catch-22 of it all, that if Windu was a good Jedi, he'd wiggle to scheme another day, and if Windu killed him, he'd have allowed the dark side into his heart and would surely be corrupted (or worse, now that we have that damned Sith body-swapping nonsense).

    All true, but there was no chance of Obi Wan arresting Vader. ;)

    Hmm, interesting notion.
    So, by sacrificing himself to the dark side, Anakin prevented Sidious from reincarnating into Windu’s body?
    Wasn’t there something about necessary consent in there somewhere?

    I get that, what I wasn't sure about was how involves he would actually be with developing the stories, or the day to day production of the movies or shows. The way some people talk about her, you'd think she was making all of these movies and shows by herself.
    I had assumed she pretty much just helped pick the writers, directors, actors, ect., let them do their own thing, and gave the final OK on the final products, but wasn't necessarily there every step of the way telling them exactly what to do.

    As for my final opinion on the series, I really enjoyed it. I thought it was one of the best productions we've gotten from Disney.
