I expected the Emperor to concoct some story about a Jedi role in Padme's death. Maybe despair makes a better short leash while he gets used to the armor?
I expected Vader to sustain more fire injury, and repair. Hayden Christensen needs a few "system upgrades" to fill out David Prowse's costume for E4.
I still have a hard time believing the Jedi Council would have accepted him as long as they did, or Obi-Wan. Anakin, at least as played by Christensen, is a whining bag of damaged goods.
The scream did seem out of character for the Vader costume, but I give allowance for his newbie-ness. Did anyone else think it sounded a lot like Luke's "father" scream?
There'll be more movies. Eventually. Whether George gets a second wind and brings back 7-9, or hands off the baton, the franchise is worth too much to leave alone forever.
Anyway, so much better than E1&2! If I have the time I'll pay to watch it again.
...and now to give thanks for the muzzled JarJar.
