Well, since you ask for it Link Here's a good natured explanation of why you're wrong or mistaken (haha!)

1)Anakin beat Dooku relatively easily for a couple of reasons. Dooku had probably been told by Sidious/Palpatine not to damage Skywalker is one explanation. Another is that lightsaber battles are not often won purely by speed. A Jedi, using the Force, will conserve his/her energy, blocking as necessary and using the Force to uncover an opening in the opponents attacks. If Anakin has increased his control of the Force, then he would indeed not need to fight as fast.

2)Palpatine was a cocky, evil B&^%(^d, bent upon the destruction of the Jedi more than the turning of Anakin. He revealed himself at a time when many of the Jedi were off world so that he could more easily defeat the Jedi stronghold on Coruscant. The man thought steps and steps and steps ahead of his enemies, so it's perfectly reasonable to say that Palpatine only revealed himself to draw the Jedi out and destroy them.

3)The "NOOOOOO" part was melodrama mixed with bad writing, and we just have to live with it.

4)Kashyyk was shown because it is a Star Wars tradition to keep up with all of the characters...and Yoda was a main character.

5)The rise of Palpatine did not happen in this movie...it was carefully orchestrated in the backgrounds of Episode I and II.

That enough? Satisfied? I can go on [img]graemlins/kidding.gif[/img]
