You're approaching these movies from the wrong angle, yo.
All story and character and convincing acting. As though these movies were about people, instead of being about the evolution in doorways and hallway lights over several years.
The true main character of the Star Wars movies is that awesome black and white corridor panel pattern thingy on the death star.

And the villains are that cool jutting-out white box thingy wall design on Tantive Iv, and also the slopey-connecting-wall-to-floor-things from the same.
The idea behind Grievous is really cool. The backstory that doesn't actually appear in the movie at all.
That's the frustrating thing about the PT villains besides Palpatine. They're all characters that could be fascinating with enough development, but they all die with barely any screen time.

Fun fact! The name "Palpatine" doesn't actually appear in the original trilogy at all. If one avoids the merchandising and watches all six movies in the order they were released, it's possible to be genuinely surprised when Ep 3 reveals that Darth Sideous, Chancellor Palpatine, and The Emperor are all the same man.
I've actually watched all six Star Wars movies with a guy who didn't see that coming.
Of all the times to insert worldbuilding and xenolinguistics, you do it by replacing a super-common word with a goofy-ass neologism, in the middle of a scene that should be hammering home just how tragically the hero has lost his way.
Why did you compromise, George Lucas? Why didn't you go all the way with your creative vision, by giving Darth Vader a comic-relief sidekick named Robo Goofers?
I felt like the Yoda stuff tends to undermine his OT character. Some of the cool stuff would be just as effective without undermining if they just had Yaddle doing it
Oddly, I associate the "NOOOOOO" with WWDC 2005 a few weeks after the movie released, and the Big Announcement given there (namely that PowerPC was dead).

McDiarmid brought so much life into Palpatine that for those moments the cheese didn't matter
I thought this was pretty cool, actually
