Perhaps Palpatine just knew how to play with his weaknesses. Anakin lost his mother and now there was a possibility that he would lose Padme. Maybe he had some sort of "maternal issue" (ok... so it's a little too Freud) and now he wanted to save Padme by any means possible. Or the fact that he was sick of everyone he loved dying.
Though, the scene where he just bows down to Palpatine seemed a little quick too. But as someone mentioned earlier, Palpatine probably had him marked.
I didn't cry. I don't normally cry at movies anyway. But the burning scene has been stuck in my head for the past few days. That and the scene where they put the mask on him. He just looked terrified.
Small nitpick... anyone in the medical field? When Anakin was getting "fixed" he started screaming/moaning in pain/etc. My question is that with burns that extensive, aren't the nerves usually shot to all hell? I just remember an episode of CSI where a victim became a giant fireball and had 3rd degree burns over 80% of her body. Drs said she wouldn't feel pain because her nerves were basically dulled. So I'm just wondering what would have made Anakin feel pain.
But yeah... LOVED the film. And I want the soundtrack. For those that have it, is the song where Padme and Anakin are on opposite sides of the city and kind of looking out of the windows of their respective buildings on the CD? I loved that song.
