and dude, you have to at least give that the light saber battles were pretty fun yes?

They were over the top for sure, but they weren't great. Luke and Vader dancing and throwing shite at each other was so much better than any of the duels that were provided to us. Lucas missed some opportunities for some great duels.

First off he should have built up Mace as a Jedi rival to Anakin, and had him be the first person he kills very directly out of rage instead of the dumb BS we saw in RotS. Mace should have found out about the Padme romance, had him directly kicked out of the Jedi Order, and then Palpatine would welcome him as a member of his administration. In fact, I'd up the stakes for Anakin and Mace's duel, and have Darth Maul in all 3 movies, and have the three of them meet at the same time. Instead of joining Mace for a 2 on 1 duel against Maul, Anakin decides to kill them both at the same time, resulting in a 3 way duel. Seriously, how much better would that have been than any duel we were presented in the prequels.

Plus, I have a problem with Obi Wan leaving Anakin alive to slowly die of third degree burns. When Anakin gets severely burned, Obi Wan should think that he was killed instantly, not slowly suffering on a volcanic world. That was just fricked up leaving his so-called "brother" to suffer on the coast of a molten volcanic river.
