>People mocked the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" scene in Revenge of the Sith for being incredibly goofy

I think part of it stems from the fact that the Prequels are a partial deconstruction of the popular image of Darth Vader as this stoic badass that was prevalent in the 80s and 90s and still is present now to a lesser extent (people seem to more readily identify with him than they do Luke, even though he's the bad guy). I think Lucas felt that people were missing the point of him and tried to correct it, only to wind up overdoing it.
