Ah, one of the other movies. I confess I may have dozed off somewhat during the opera scene. Actually, I may have dozed off at several points in Revenge of the Sith, but particularly the opera scene.

(That said, that movie does have the best joke in the entire prequel trilogy; that is admittedly not a terrifically high bar, but still, that one battle droid saying "You're welcome" to General Grievous is gold. Also, I would quite have enjoyed seeing the movie that the opening sequence was from, as opposed to the one that actually followed it. That would have been pretty cool.)

... because Chancellor Palpatine wasn't an opportunistic serial liar. Or anything. :)
