Recently read an article in the Star Wars Insider mag stating that the total in-movie time for the events shown in ROTS was only 9 days! Heck, Anakin was seduced really FAST to the Dark Side...  Over a decade of Jedi training renounced in just 9 days! |

Heard something like that after the movie but never came across any hard proof...guess now its official then...
Like the saying goes...the path of the least resistance is often the one most travelled...
The Dark Side promised him everything the Jedi order can not, or will not provide him...

Not really, the seeds to the Dark Side was sown ever since he left Tatooine. His unwillingness to let go of the memory of his mother, and his inability to deal with loss.
Mace was right to reject him in the first place.
But since everything is based on context, Qui-Gon was right to want to train him, and I believed Qui-Gon could have trained him. But of course he died and Anakin was placed in the hands of Obi-Wan who (although he was a superb Jedi Knight) was too indoctrinated with the Jedi Order's outdated views as opposed of Qui-Gon's more proactive rebellious views to win Anakin's heart over to the Jedi Order.
With Mace and most of the Jedi Council showing more than a little distrust of Anakin over the course of 10 years, of course there's no way the Jedi Order would win over Anakin's heart.
In the meantime, of all people, Palpatine has been telling him things that he wanted to hear. Which means even if he's devoted his life to the Jedi, his heart and his allegiance is locked to Palpatine.

plus, you have to think in terms of coming full term for the twins. when we first meet up with Padme in the beginning of the movie, i've noticed that she's just about, or, completely flat. at the end, she's just about full term. i hope i don't have to explain the terms of pregancy to you guys. so, ROTS, to me, has taken place within the time period of nine months; not nine days.

Er, actually Padme was already very pregnant when first meeting Anakin at the start of ROTS. Just very well hidden amidst the multi-layers of Naboo dress clothing... Anyway, the comics and books detailing Vader's story after ROTS had some interesting reading... In the hardcover novel there some interesting parts about Vader having a hard time in the infamous armour, including not falling over while walking! Plus some soul-searching whether he did the right thing in eliminating the Jedi as well as coming to terms that Palpatine is evil and cannot be trusted. |

Yep. I read that Tricia Biggar designed the costumes so as to hide a full term pregnancy.
I have a feeling when they first embraced in ROTS Anakin might have felt something there and went "What the-" in his mind, and if Padme didn't bring it up, he'd have asked her "Did you just swallow a watermelon?" ASAP.

well, the way i saw the reunion scene, it didn't seem like she was pregent; nor her protruding abdomen hidden by layers of costume.
