While sitting here pondering the imponderables, I thought of a few more things to look out for when you view Episode II. Highlight to read:

Among the kids in the Bear Clan, there a young alien of the same race as Shaak Ti.

New Jedi Master Coleman Trebor is blasted by Jango Fett and shown falling over the balcony at the Arena.

Beru serves Anakin and Padme blue milk. It does a body good.

Watto is shown with flies buzzing around him in Mos Espa. He's more disgusting than he was in Episode I.

R5-D4 was not see at Watto's shop, but I'm sure he's somewhere around.

Dexter scratches his butt while hugging Obi-Wan. Four hands come in useful.

Hermione Bagwa has no lines in the film.

Kit Fitso force slams C-3PO in the film finally diabling him. He gets a big grin on his face after doing it.

I didn't see N'Sync at all. If they're there, they're not noticable.

When Shmi dies, she does kind of a dramatic flop that didn't look so good.

The new tanks with the giant guns fire a continuous laser beam to take out the Federation Core Ship. Very cool.
