After watching all 7 parts, I had pretty much thought about everything he said at one point or another except for that. It didn't even dawn on me that the opening scroll tells us he's a Jedi Knight when the movie tells us he's not until the end.
One thing I wish he had touched upon more was the treaty. For half the movie they were chasing Amidala so she could sign the treaty. Then when she leaves Coruscant, Sidious doesn't give a shit about the treaty and just wants them all dead. But then Gunray still wants her to sign the treaty. Its not Gunray being defiant of Sidious, its Lucas accidentally writing something contradictory...again.
Then there's the whole, sending Maul to Naboo. He didn't fly via taxi. He took his ship. Where did he park it and when did the Jedi find it?
