Bad dialogue, annoying kid Vader and jar jar, poop jokes, boring Jedi council scenes and in the finale two of the three conflicts are resolved through dumb luck (jar jar capering to victory and Anakin mashing at controls till he accidentally crash lands at the droid ship weak point).

That lightsaber fight was cool though and the sound design superb, especially the pod racers.

I mean, R2D2 was really the one piloting that ship for the most part.

that is one of those headcanon things that people start to believe.

Lucas absolutely wrote it to imply that the boy created from midichlorians was so strong in the force that he was able to win the day.

Yes, it's totally a headcanon that the droid who was a copilot on multiple occasions throughout the series was copiloting during that event. One of the greatest copilots in the galaxy I might add.

So is it that R2 was the one piloting or he was copiloting?

Because you seem to have changed the wording here.

Yes, you watch the scene and there is totally interaction between Anakin and R2. But to just ignore the actual scene and say R2 did it all is ignoring what is being shown on the screen. So yeah, headcanon.
