Trivia
The original cut of this movie ran nearly four hours. The opening battle/Palpatine rescue alone ran over an hour. The extra footage of the Palpatine rescue scene is shown in the video game for this movie, however.

Goofs
When Padmé is trying to convince Anakin to turn from the dark side on Mustafar, Anakin says "And I'm doing it for you, to protect you," but his mouth says "And I'm doing it because I love you, to protect you."

Quotes
Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force... not leave it in darkness!
Anakin Skywalker: [shouts] I HATE YOU!
Obi-Wan: You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!

Crazy credits
The opening logo for 20th Century Fox is static (to match the opening of Episodes 4, 5 and 6), instead of the animated 3-D logo used in Fox films at the time.

Alternate versions
As Obi-Wan leaves Mustafar, there is a shot of him sitting in the cockpit of Padme's Naboo skiff, with C-3PO sitting next to him. The next shot is of the badly burned Anakin trying to claw his way up the lava bank with his remaining prosthetic arm. In the theatrical version, these shots were separated by a wipe. In the DVD, it is a normal cut. But in the 2011 Blu-Ray release, the wipe has been restored.

_________________________________

I think it is under-rated because the first two movies was not really good. The first one was bad. Second one is average but not a good Star Wars movie. But this last one is really good. I think this is the best way to connecting to the Original Trilogy after two bad movies. They've done 2 bad movies but this is really good and emotional. This is all we wanted from Star Wars. And this last movie gave that to us.
