I’m not too sure about this movie… from reading the graphic novel:

Anakin turns into Darth Vader because he wants to make Padme immortal. He has a dream that she dies. That’s all.
Basically, Anakin kills Samuel L Jackson to start his path to the dark side. He does this not because he wants power, or is jealous, or has an ego trip, or mistrusts the Jedi… he wants to keep Sidious/Palpatine alive so he can learn how to keep Padme from dying.
The big bad guy Grevious does not fight anyone besides Obi-Wan. I guess we’re supposed to think he’s a great fighter, even though he kills no Jedis.
Anakin hardly kills any Jedis, except the young ones and Mace. Most of the jedi-killing is done by the Clone Troopers who get new orders (not being led by Vader, though). His big massacre scene is the non-Jedi Seperatist leaders (most are unarmed).
Armored Darth Vader is only around for a few pages/minutes at the end of the movie. Very, very few lines. No action scenes or lightsaber wielding.
Padme dies while Leia and Luke are being born. Don’t know how Leia could remember her in ROTJ.
That wooden pretty-boy kills Samuel L. Jackson? The Samuel L. Jackson?Yeah, right. Don’t tell me the ending - we dissolve back to a young Jake Lloyd in Mos Eisley rubbing his eyes and saying “Mom, I just had the strangest dream.”
She probably never remembered her real mother, but merely always assumed the wife of Bail Organa was her mother, and that’s what she mistakenly told Luke. OK, it detracts a bit from the drama of that scene in ROTJ, but I see no reason to think that she knew that the woman who she remembered dying when she was young was in fact her birth mother.
Being attuned to the Force herself, Leia somehow remembered her mother Padme from her nine months or so in utero, or from just the few minutes they had together immediately after Leia’s birth…?
I’ve never really found that the graphic novel adaptation of a movie really ever did it any justice. Take a look, for example, at the two for the two X-Men movies. If I’d based my opinion of the movies on those, I would never have gone to see 'em.
