The corny hubby love scenes with Emo-kin and Padme.
The podracing was stretched out too.

The fireplace scene, worst dialogue Ive ever heard.
Anakin's rant about Obi Wan "Its just not fair!" at the start of AOTC
Balcony scene in ROTS, bad Anakin/Padme dialogue striked back.
And I just realised that none of those feature Jar Jar, and he just has to be included in a topic like this, so the scene in the Bongo with the giant fish. A very pointless, tacked on scene with Jar Jar at his most excrusciating.

The Jar Jar scenes I actually think are all right. As long as he's making a fool of himself in the background, it's not a big deal and is actually somewhat amusing. I just don't want to see him being passed off as a military leader, a political figurehead, or just being given more importance in the story than he deserves >_>

In the Theed reactor scene, when Obi-Wan rediculously vaults himself 15 feet into the air above Darth Maul, force-takes Qui-Gon's saber and slices Maul in two -- all while Maul watches, frozen in seeming admiration at this flippin' incredible feat (even for a Sith).
Maul's loss was totallunnecessary -- especially with the introduction of Dooku in AOTC. Mace could have held his role and eliminated that of of Dooku throughout the rest of the PT. The way Maul was taken out was simply beyond belief, especially in lieu of how Anakin met his horrible fate on Mustafar, unable to perform a much simpler leap over Kenobi.

I agree with this. Especially when you consider Anakin had just jumped 65 yards off the platform going over the lava river's edge. Maul and Jin were toy sellers. That's it. What a waste. That's why I don't like the TPM. It does nothing for the story besides introduce Palpatine, Anakin, and Padme. That could have been done in 15 minutes during AOTC. ATOC should have been Episode 1. ROTS should have been Episode 2 with Anakin's defeat of Mace and turn to the darkside being the ending. Then Episode 3 should have been Anakin hunting down all the remaining jedi one by one until they are all gone minus yoda and kenobi. Then Kenobi and Yoda should have taken out Anakin together as the ending to Episode 3. That would have made more sense. Order 66 was the biggest joke of the whole saga. Completely unacceptable. Now Obi-Wan's line in Episode 4 doesn't mean squat. He makes the jedi seem mystical and invincible. But then Lucas and Order 66 makes the jedi look like a bunch of weaklings who can't do anything right. I cringed when I saw it for the first time. Took away all my respect for what Lucas had made the jedi out to be. Order 66 is basically Lucas saying "Shyt, I'm out of movie time."

I agree with that AOTC should have been episode I but I disagree with you on the rest. The whole point of the Clone Wars was to initiate Order 66. That was Palpatines main reason for them. They were intended to spread the Jedi thin across the galaxy where they would be far outnumbered and caught by surprise by the Clonetroopers. The clone wars were really just an elaborate way to set the jedi up to be easily killed.
And I think its generally accepted that many jedi survived, Order 66 just took out the bulk of them. Vader tracked down and killed the remainder, so what Obi Wan says makes sense.

I don't see what purpose would be served by Anakin leaping the same distance over Kenobi. He could just as easily have the droid float him over to the same spot.

This is a good point. Why not stay on the floating platform and float 10 feet above Kenobi on the opposite side? And then force Kenobi backwords into the lava? It all makes no sense.

It only makes no sense because you persist in assuming Anakin was trying to leap to a place of safety beyond Obi-Wan. The script says "ANAKIN follows".
