from episode 4-5 the differences are majorly noticeable. the budget improvements def went to a new costume. by the time of episode 6, I didn't notice it as much.
but then, I was used to looking at the film in pan an d scan, and the bad scan job made it look weird anyway.

I think the explanation was that Sidious knew what was going to happen to Anakin at a certain point so he already had the suit built and waiting.

George Lucas' direction. "Uhh, Ian, in this scene I want you to give us the impression that Palpatine is really enjoying the battle, so just use your "O" face."

so, watching the mortis trilogy......
Do you think that was really qui gon there? the father dissipated at the end, so clearly he knew the same secrets yoda and ben eventually learned.
and it was said that Qui Gon couldn't become a spirit ghost fully because he never completed the training once he returned from his visit.
but maybe through the power of mortis, he was able to fully appear as a spirit there only. the other ghosts in that series of episodes never really where able to fully stay in character, so I'd like to believe that really was qui gon giving advice.
'for there to be balance, you must forget what you have seen'..... in other words, perhaps... if Anakin obsesses over what he's seen, he'll miss the chance to save luke at the end of ROTJ? but if he doesn't know until it happens, he'll be able to better process it all? (like how he thinks on things as he captures luke on endor?)
I don't know..but watching EVERYTHING in order, from phantom menace, through clone wars, through episode 6... the story becomes much more complete and fulfilling. I'd REALLY love to see Revenge of the Sith animated with the clone wars cast..
it's amazing how dave filoni could take the same characters and make them FUN and interesting, where as with george fully in control, not so much.

I thought in the ROTS novel it said that Qui Gon learned that secret from a Shaman of the Whills.

season 6 of clone wars did a whole side arc on the 'force ghost' aspect. I can't remember what they where called though......but it was clear that there where two parts of the training. one where you prepare yourself, and the other where you finish whatever it is you started. it seems qui gon did the first part, but not the second part that he apparently instructed yoda and ben on.
I'm just curious if the mortis monolith had enough power for qui gon to appear in spirit form, but only THERE. elsewhere, he appears as those little shiny balls of light. which apparently are a spirit projection of sorts since yoda does this as he's alive in star wars rebels in order to communicate with the other rebels.
yes exactly!!

it finally explained what anakin might have been designed to do......(despite nefarious intentions by Darth Plauges(sp)...)

and speaking of clone wars.... What's your thought that Order 66 was hard wired into the clones as an obeyable cue order? do you think that was always the case? or changed once people realized how likeable the clones where through the clone wars series?
They've said since ROTS that it wasn't programming or anything just a list of contingency orders. It was no different than any other orders they memorized. I think that's why most Jedi didn't feel the threat in the Force because the clones weren't acting out of malice, they were just executing an order that said they were now the enemy.
i understood it as, like having a SD card in their mind with orders that could be trigger by a line of code "execute order 66" triggered the code and the clones reacted with out question. do i believe the clones knew about the order the whole time while working with the jedi? no, i also have wondered if there was a order for the clones to exterminate each other... this would prove faulty in the system and the empire would give up on them and start recruiting people ...
then again if there was ever a thing like that where the clones took each other out, people could wonder if the clones took the jedi out because of orders, or just a glitch in programming... leaving the galaxy to question if the jedi were innocent, which i dont think the empire would want

I have had the impression that Palpatine didn't really care which side would win the Clone Wars - because he was in charge of both. So, envision both sides of the outcome:
A) As we see: Pit Dooku & Anakin against each other, Anakin wins. Without him or Greivous, separatists lose. Shut down droid armies, execute all colluding separatist leaders to make sure they keep quiet. Use Order 66 to execute remaining Jedi. Use big war machine & emergency powers to consolidate dictatorship across the Galaxy. Profit!
B) Pit Dooku & Anakin against each other, Dooku wins. Oh well, Anakin project wasn't worth the time... WIth Dooku & Grievous still in place, Separatists win, Republic "surrenders"
If droids can't do the job, use Order 66 to exterminate remaining Jedi, followed by extermination order to wipe out clones. Execute colluding Republic officials to keep them quiet. Use big war machine & new totalitarian gov't to consolidate dictatorship across the Galaxy. Profit!
