Definitely have to agree with your best. He thoroughly creeped me out. A close second would be Scarecrow from Batman Begins. I loved that movie! Maybe even more than The Dark Night.
The same thing I would have done to fix the Dooku/Yoda fight in Episode II: A contest of pure Force mastery. Yoda flipping around like a leprechaun on crack was absolutely ludicrous to watch. I had always envisioned him as a being so powerful he didn't even NEED to use a lightsaber. The same is the case with the Emperor, a man of such mastery of the Dark Side he had no need of a lightsaber, even to fight another Jedi. The only thing having the Emperor and Yoda actually FIGHT satisfied was the ADD kids who get bored when there's not enough explosions and flashy lights on the screen.
More to the point: Yoda Force-smashing the two Imperial Guardsmen into the wall? Awesome. Yoda flying through the air like some turbo-charged anime reject? Just one of MANY ridiculous moments that destroyed the prequels.
I dunno. I liked Revenge of the Sith the best out of all six movies (and its my favorite movie of all time). As for my second favorite it would have to be a tie between TESB and ROTJ. A new Hope in third, followed by AOTC then TPM. I love ROTS because it is just soooooo epic in my opinion.
Yes some things looked cheesy, and I wish that Lucas had made the battle between Yoda and Sidious much better and longer. You are right in saying that neither of them needed lightsabers. To quote the words of Matthew Stover who wrote the novelization of ROTS (awesome book, my favorite Star Wars book ever) it wasn't just Yoda vs. Sidious, it was the Master of all Jedi vs. the Master of all Sith, the fundamental conflict of the universe itself. Light versus Dark. Both had waited nearly one thousand years for that very moment. One would think that they would give it their absolute best to totally vanquish the other once and for all. Lucas could have had a movie with 3 hours of phenomenal material that would have blown everyone away.
