Completely agree with Swerve's comments regarding the Episode III Obi-Wan v. Grievous battle. It was absolutely anticlimactic, and left me with less of a soft spot for the film as opposed to others in the series.
Rather than flesh out my own reactions, I'll simply state the most important by (a) echoing Swerve's distaste at Obi-Wan's unnatural ability to cut off half of the General's arms within a minute, when the General was capable of taking down multiple Jedi single-handedly (no pun intended), and (b) the fact that Grievous dies by the end of it, with what, a blaster shot to the chest? After all of his appendages are gone, iirc? What the hell is that.
Ditto again to Swerve with The Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network. Some of the best 5 minute action clips I've seen in my life, most favorably Mace Windu's on the dusty battlefield about a quarter way through the series.
