Couple things I hate.

In Episode II, Yoda couldn't defeat Count Dooku. Then, in the beginning of Episode III, Dooku takes out Obi-Wan pretty quick, then Anikan woops Dooku's ass.

Therefore:

1.) I hate how they made it seem so easy for Anikan to kill Dooku, yet Yoda couldn't.
2.) I hate how Obi-Wan was able to basically kick Anikan's ass, yet get owned so quickly by Dooku, which as I just stated, Anikan handily defeated.


Also, I agree that Palpatine was faking, but Windu was easily handling the Force's lightning attack with his Lightsaber. So I'm still a little confused on whether he was actually faking it by not really using the lightning attack to its full potential, or if he let himself get into that vulnerable position to make him look tired.. I don't know..
