Of course, I wouldn't possibly be doing this to get some comments out if it... you know you want to.

Ach, damn. I heard Lucas had a cameo as (in his own words) "A blue skinned guy in the background." I was hoping it was him, but from IMDB, "The blue skinned Baron Papanoida who appears during the opera scene."
Or not... as the case is.
Also, it seems that in the first 20 years of the empire, all the stormtroopers forgot how to shoot, presumably because they never needed to. They all shoot from the hip and couldn't hit a plane with an elephant(rider)
Or health and safety got involved.
It's just great to see them weilding the lightsabre like they don't have a clue what it is, when not 20 years before they were jumping and twirling like nobody's business.
Must be quite amusing after III's swirly shenanigans.
I never got why the hold their lightsabres anyway ... surely just fling it around using the Force? That would have been cool.
One thing I find quite strange is that the apparently elite Jedi are so easily felled. I mean in Ep 3 when **SPOIL? Windu goes to take out Palpatine, the soon-to-be Emperor just swipes at them and they go down straight away. No fight, no foresight, nothing. I mean COME ON, even a youngling would have blocked one swipe. Also, for all Anakins dark side powers, he still gets his ass whooped by Obi-Wan, who ain't really all that.
Oh, and watching the wonderful Obi-Wan - Anakin fight at the end of III, then seeing the 20 year later reinactment in the Death Star is just hilarious. THey go from one handed acrobatics to two old men having a fight with brooms, shuffling around each other and holding their lightsabres like they could explode at any moment. Wonderful.
