I was thinking about why they stayed with the primitive culture, and I believe it has to do with Obi-Wan learning from Qui-Gon. Remember in TPM when OWK tries to rush QGQ out of Otoh Gunga, but Qui is just going with the flow. Obi is probably trying to learn this too and teaching it to Anakin.

Okay, finally sat down and watched this. One question that came to mind was why bother abducting Palpatine? I don't get it. Are they going to start the movie with a rescue mission for him? It just seemed like a weird plot idea to me.

kidnapping Palpatine sets of a showdown, it lets Anakin be tested. It allows him to see how much Anakin has progressed and it would probably also make some of the senate sympathetic towards him.
no matter what happens Palpatine still wins, so he's got no reason not to go for it

I didn’t see this mentioned before, but in the hieroglyphics scene, the very last frame of the wall painting, the lines all morph into Darth Vader's mask. Maybe it was really obvious so people didn’t mention it. Or maybe people truly didn’t catch. I'm going with the former.

I just finished reading the novelization and it is pretty damn good. There's a fantastic chapter with Palpatine/Anakin where Anakin is asked "What do you want?"... I'm not sure how much of this will end up in the film (these movies aren't known for 20-minute dialog segments ), but it is really well done.
You can really understand Anakin's choices and while you may not agree with them, you can see where he's coming from and how things really aren't as black and white/good and evil as you thought they'd be.

A few questions:
1. Does the clone wars take place over 3 years?
2. I don't recall but doesn't chapter 21 start where chapter 20 ends the battle with Grievious? Thus chapter 20-25 take place very soon before ROTS?
3. I've read that chapter 1 battle took place 4-5 months after the end of AOTC, would anyone have or be able to point to a timeline of when the battles were supposed to be during the war?
Thanks.

No doubt, I really dig the Clone Wars Volume one DVD.
