Whew! I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I've gotten some really strange reactions when I've said I didn't like AOTC.
But I have to remind them that the last four movies I've seen in the theater prior to AOTC are: Harry Potter, LOTR, LOTR ;-) and Spiderman...
Plus, I am old enough to remember the first Star Wars and how exciting, and new, it was. I have a hard time with the technology of Episode II being more advanced with the technology of Episodes IV, V, & VI.

Technology under the Empire must have been backsliding.

Well, maybe it was kind of a post nuclear age thing...

I don't know. Was pre-Soviet Russia more or less advanced than Soviet Russia?

"Ah, the dwarf senses a diversionary tactic in an attempt to steal the precious..."
No, just trying to cause trouble....I learned it from Overtaxed.... Just kidding :-)

How advanced were any of us pre-Soviet Russia?

Hmmm, a master-teacher relationship...there are always two...hmmm....
To: Corin Stormhands
How advanced were any of us pre-Soviet Russia?I don't know.
But what I REALLY want to know is: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck? If a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I've read that the peasants were much better off under the czars than under communism, in terms of nutrition, wealth, freedom, etc. As for relative technology, I don't know since we're talking about a relatively short time period.

Of course the only relatively short time period some sneaks are interested in is how much longer to the precious...

Kevin can't count...
To: Corin Stormhands
See what I mean...
To: Corin Stormhands
maybe it was kind of a post nuclear age thing... ...and maybe it was kind of a socialist suppression of free markets. :)
To: Corin Stormhands
Who gets it?
To: Corin Stormhands
