Trivia
The Clone Trooper vehicles featured during the battle on Kashyyyk are the ten-wheeled HV6 Juggernaut armored personnel carriers, while the mini two-legged AT-RT light walkers, and the AT-AP pod walkers are forerunners to the Imperial AT-ST mini walkers featured in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983). In fact, the Juggernaut (also known as the Turbo Tank) is based on designs for the AT-AT Joe Johnston made for The Empire Strikes BAck.

Ian McDiarmid is doubled by a trained stuntman for his light-saber battles and more physically demanding shots, such as when Palpatine scrambles away from Mace Windu. As with Christopher Lee, computer effects were used to put the actor's face over the face of the stunt double. McDiarmid stated in numerous interviews that he was pleased that his character, even if not himself personally, was finally involved in some action sequences. For the sword fight between Windu and Sidious, however, the demands for camera angles and close-ups meant that stunt coordinator Nick Gillard had to teach the two actors the entire fight sequence, which was then shot partly with the stunt performers, and partly with Jackson and Mcdiarmid.

Goofs
Anakin's scar on his right eye changes, the part below his eye moves slightly down and lengthens. Also, on the DVD box cover, Anakin clearly doesn't have a scar, but posters have artistic license.

When the buzz droids are destroyed on Obi-Wan's fighter, they are swept away as if by wind flowing over the wings. As there is no air in space, the wreckage of the droids should have remained on Obi-Wan's fighter.

Dooku tries to choke Obi-Wan and sends him flying across the room with his left hand while holding his lightsaber in his right hand. In the shot where Dooku uses the Force to crush Obi-Wan with the large metal platform, he uses his right hand, which should be holding the lightsaber. The lightsaber is then in his right hand again when Anakin kicks him off the balcony.

Q
What are the differences between the DVD and Blu-ray releases?
A
Apart from a different scene transition before the end of the movie both versions are identical. Nonetheless one can find a detailed comparison between both versions with pictures here.
Q
What exactly were the steps in Palpatine's plot in this film?
A
Q
Did Palpatine/Sidious actually create Anakin?
A
Perhaps. In an earlier draft of the movie's screenplay, the point is made more clearly, with Sidious telling Anakin, "I arranged for your conception... You could almost think of me as your father." Later drafts dropped this more blatant declaration, possibly to avoid feeling like a rehash of the famous reveal of Luke's parentage in The Empire Strikes Back. Although it was suggested by Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menance that Anakin was created by the Force, it is implied in Revenge of the Sith that Anakin may have been created by the Sith when Palpatine tells him of Darth Plagueis's ability to create life. However, this is not made absolutely clear, and may well be Palpatine's way of simply manipulating Anakin by telling him there is a method by which death can be averted.
