The big picture

As usual in Star Wars, the story of ROTS is not a single one. Several threads are followed, some coming from previous episodes, some appearing for the first time.

All however are woven into a great picture, the proportions of which transcend each and every one of the protagonists.
Each new time we see this canvas unveiling, we get a more acute feeling of being presented with a tapestry of grandeur and magnifiscence that we couldn't grasp after the first screening.

And so, new details, new implications and reasons that were all but hiding in the shadows, become obvious, giving us that feeling of earned knowledge, and raising at the same time a new list of questions.
"Were Anakin's visions real or created by Palpatine ?" "Is Palpatine mentally linked to Anakin, and influencing him to come to his office despite Mace Windu's orders ?" "When Anakin lands on that floating platform next to Obi-Wan, he loses his balance for an instant. Could Obi-Wan have struck him at that very moment ?"

I can't wait for tomorrow, more things will be revealed ... :)
