Yes, I do agree that there were alot of inconsistencies with the movie, but I think you are wrong about some of the ones you pointed out.
1. Gungans were put in for comic relief. Jar Jar was the only really simple minded one. The Naboo couldn't have set up the attack because all their soliders were kept captive by the Trade Federation, so the Gungans had to help.
2. When Anakin was trained, there were many many Jedi. They could choose who to train and who not to train. When Luke was trained, he was the only known Jedi potential, so they did not have much of a choice. Either train him, or let the Empire keep going.
3. Good point here. It seems in TPM that Yoda was just a member of the council, and did no training of his own. But we do not know for sure. It is possible that he trained Obi-Wan early on, and then turned him over to Qui-Gon for the completion of his training. Or it is possible that after Qui-Gons death, Obi-Wan seeked help from Yoda in regards to training Anakin. Who knows. Hopefull yit will be explained in later episodes.
4. Many movies have had "the one" in it (The Matrix) I personally find nothign wrong with using that idea in a movie. Many movies do it, even the original Star Wars. I'd let them slide with that one.
5.Maybe Anakins 6th sense is the way he can work with machines. He has the intuitive knowledge of how things work together, and can sense when they do not. In the later Star Wars books, the sone of Leia (ironically named Anakin) has an aptitude for machines, and can sense when they are put together right or not. What not this Anakin?
6. Droids have no emotions, no fear. They make the perfect soliders. Stormtroopers were used in the Empire because of the flaws of the droids. Having only ONE master ship was a bit of a stupid idea. Multiple command ships would have made more sense.
7. I agree. Anyone else would have been shot.
8. This is a very wide open topic on the rumor mill. Rumors are around that his is so powerful of a Sith Lord that he can mask his presence, or that the Senator Palpatine is actually just a clone on Darth Sidious who is used to get into power. Both of which are possible explainations, both of which will be either true or false. We will see.
9. I found Liam and Ewan to do a great job, as well as Shimi and Palpatine. Most of the other, pretty dry. Especially the Queen. And Darth Maul. Darth Maul's lines were so few and far between that I almost forgot what he sounded like.
10. In the other episodes, there were only 2 Jedi Masters, well one actually, only Yoda. Obi-Wan never claimed to be a Jedi Master, only a Knight. Each master has their own training techniques, and in the original, Yoda decided that wisdom was more needed that anythign else. In TPM, well... not much earth shattering wisdom flying around.
11. I found that many areas of the movie were cut short, or overplayed, or underplayed. I could have stood for a longer final lightsaber duel, or a longer, more intense space battle (with much less of a lucky shot) etc. But thats just me. Overall it was good, but full of holes.
