(Which begs the question, why are evil guys always more powerful than good ones?). I think the key isn't that the Jedi were weak, but that Vader was strong. And if he were still inside their "Circle of Trust", then all the better for him to destroy them. Agreed regarding Jango/Boba Fett, and Artoo. Threepio was definitely gold all along, but there was a Silver protocol droid right at the start of A New Hope, on board Captain Antilles' ship. Finally, Leia said "...my <em>real</em> mother. She died when I was very young." in Return of the Jedi. (On Endor, when Luke is just about to leave and meet Vader). She clearly was talking about her real mother, but I suspect one could argue it was a false memory.

It would have been more interesting if Vader tracked them down, one by one. But In a way I think that this would undermine the Jedi's themselves. They would have had time to re-group and get Vader. And if they didn't well, that shows how weak they are. And if there were questions still left over I bet the fans will be asking what about this and that. Though I think they should have left the bounty hunter thing out in Episode II, that was unnecessary to tie up or even include in the prequels. Artoo was good, though threepio annoys the hell out of me. How did he get gold anyway, I thought he was silver? As for Christensen, I wouldn't say that to a certain star wars fan who got the back of her head on the big screen. I thought that Leia tells luke that she knew their mother in return of the jedi, but Amidala dies early. maybe she was talking of her step mother? I think you’re right about the Jedi slaying bit.

My major point was how he didn't really need to tie up all of the loose ends - or he wouldn't have if he hadn't introduced all of the ancillary characters (R2-D2, C-3PO) in the way that he did. The greatest thing about the first films was how there was actually a significant time difference between the films, and stuff obviously happened in this time frame, but we didn't need to be told about it. In terms of the Episode 3 ending, sure there is a time gap, but everything that has happened is explained in advance. And you shouldn't ned to do this. Sure, for some stuff you need to prepare for what is going to happen, and Lucas did this with the way that he made Ani/Vader evil by having Sidious trick him into believing he killed Amidala. He should have left more stuff to the imagination, like how the jedi were wiped out. I guess that was one of my main beefs - I got the impression that Vader took some time to traverse the galaxy defeating jedi - I expected the film to show the start of this, and then leave the rest of it to our imagination. Lucas' reliance on special effects actually made soem things about the special edition of the original trilogy worse, in my opinion - for instance the whole shooting Greedo scene in the cantina, and some other stuff I can't remember right now. Oh, and I think it's possible to have an uncommited, emotionally torn character, I'm just saying that on current form, I think Christiansen is a crap actor. Your mind tricks will not work on me, Jedi.

But I don't think you should judge a movie by the guy sitting in front of you... It was better than the previous ones, right? And the battling is cool, besides it's for the younger generation, to keep them interested. Don't u reckon if Lucas had the opportunity to make the old star wars fight scenes a brilliant spectacle he would have? Of course, and you wouldn't be complaining now. I think if anything it was corny, especially those "I love you" "No, I love you more" scenes with Portman and Christensen. Otherwise it's unfair to critisise the poor guy (let's face it, he's taken a lot of flak) when he couldn't play Vader/Ani in any other way. He couldn't be too evil, otherwise the point of 'not everything is black and white' would be lost or too nice, as to undermine his characters future darkness. That only leaves a sort of uncommitted character or as you call it 'wooden'. But possibly if you have seen the prequels first, and later the originals you would think the plot was weak in those, since you already know the major twists. It's hard to write a story that is already written, and Lucas does it better than anyone else probably could. You will agree with me. Olee I think I’m going to agree with Kala, Schinckel!
