Hurry up, we've got to get to the Dark Side in under three hours!

Lol! That should be an icon.
But I agree - they used a lot of time on showing droid's and CGI shots - and too little on the human factor. Also I always get the feeling that Anakin's fall was a little railroaded by Lucas. He just fell too easily.

But then again I feel that not filming the Clone wars was a huge mistake. Thankfully the cartoon version is wickedly cool. I do love Asajj Ventress.
