Not really. I don't hear anybody whining about not knowing the history of the Needa's or who was in command at Coruscant.

Question.
If Needa was as inept as people here are making out, then isn't the fault surely with the Command structure of the empire for letting someone so inept into the position of such command?
Yeah, it's a good thing no one that inept was ever in a
position of command in real life!

What were they supposed to do? Shower the IH with flowers?
When a capital ship pulls up next to you and starts firing,
you really have very few options.
Run.
Or shoot back.
And besides, the chance to whack Dooku and Greivous
at the same time, even at the price of Palpatine,
was too hard to pass up.
Target of opporutinty.
Not to mention it was a great pirate movie homage...

I agree that they should have shown the republic officers commanding the republic ships, as a way to tigh in with the end of the movie (and the orginal trilogy). They should have worn similar uniforms to the imperial design but not exactly the same.
I am a bit suprised that Needa would have been in a position to control a republic cruiser at this time. What was he in Empire? 40? That would make him 18 here. I would have expected him to be somehing like an ensign or some other very low rank at this point.

It's possible that Needa's CO was killed or Palpatine purposely put someone of low rank in charge of Courscant's defense. He was only 20 and a Lieutenant (sp) in the Republic's Navy.
The uniforms seen at the end of ROTS, was what the Republic's military uniform looked like.

Then I think that if Lucas ever changes this movie like he has done with the others, he should include a brief scene on the bridge of a republic cruiser with officers shouting orders. However, the bridge should not look like the destroyer at the end of the movie, IMO. That would spoil it a little.

They all looked like that, including the Republic Battle Crusiers from AOTC. Almost all the Star Destroyers were created by the same design team. Not talking about ILM, but in the story itself. The Venator begat the Victory which begat the Imperial which begat the Super class.

I'll take your word for it, even though I think it looks a bit too grey and sterile for the republic. But I guess that's just another sign that the republic was about to become an empire. I would still like to se the inside of a republic vessel and its officers during the battle of Couruscant. It would make the last scene with Vader seem less sudden.

You should see his cousin. He's even more inept.
I didn't realize that was possible! Although to Needa's credit, at least it's Han Solo who outsmarts him.
Hey now..I take offense to thes type of post. Where is a MOD when you need one

I agree! We should have seen more officers in uniforms instead of only clonetroopers...
