That myth about the Sith
Beggars all has some good thoughts on Revenge of the Sith, as does Instapundit.
As Eric Phillips points out in the comments on my most recent Sith post, the line about only Siths dealing in absolutes was actually spoken by Obi-Wan, rather than by Yoda. Eric also makes a point in a long reply over at the Beggars post that Instapundit also makes: that the line in question is timed rather ironically, being essentially a response to Anakin's observation that, after all, whether Palpatine or the Jedi are evil is a matter of opinion!
Clearly the most clueless response to the movie I've encountered came from someone who faxed Dr. Laura the day after the movie premiered, complaining that he'd expected "a cute movie about robots" and instead encountered "a movie about death." Hello! You maybe expected Anakin to turn into Darth Vader because he discovered that he didn't like Padme's cooking?

I'm going to write a letter of complaint to that nefarious Mr. Shakespeare.
