Ya know what?

I wish somebody besides Lucas will go back and redo the whole Star War's saga and do it right.

I have heard him say that he doesn't like doing stories at the beginning but in the middle. Well, dude, that is not really smart for now, your whole Star Wars story is full of inconsistincies. Some dots do not connect.

arggh..I don't know what to think about this whole thing. It seems to me a major letdown.

To me, the most grievous thing about the movie is anakin's lost opportunity. He could have become easily the most powerful jedi ever or the most powerful sith ever. I subconsciously find myself annoyed with Mace(esp.), Obi, or anyone else for holding him back or stopping him. Obi cutting off all three remaining limbs was REALLY annoying. If Darth Vader hadn't had that happen to him then he would probably have become the most powerful sith ever and overthrown the emperor(and still lived).

I saw Sith last night and have taken this time to gauge my reaction. So here goes.

I feel cheated. The movie wasn't THAT bad, but truthfully the prequels as a whole, including Ch.3, ruined, or at least soiled, the original series.

I had the opportunity to see the original SW today. I've seen it probably a 8 - 12 times now, and this was the first time I came away slightly disappointed. Several reasons have already been discussed, particularly the inconsistencies in the force. Why didn't Darth sense Leia's possession of force, when we know that she has it strongly? Why didn't he recognize that she was his daughter, when he could recognize Luke? As a matter of fact, Padme was clearly made up to look like Leia did (i.e., hair) in the original SW, and he didn't have the notion that he might be his long lost?

Here's soemthing even more offensive. Obi Wan was made into a liar! When he and Luke were first talking in Obi Wan's cave, he told Luke:

1 - Your father wanted you to have this light saber. (I can forgive this as a little white lie.)

2 - Luke says Uncle Owen told him that Anakin was a navigator on a freighter. Obi Wan replies that Owen never approved of Anakin's philosophies and tried to dissuade him from going off to fight in the clone wars... We know now that Anakin only even knew Owen for a few days, and this was AFTER he was already a Jedi apprentice! What purpose would Obi Wan have for lying about this?

3 - Luke says that the droids (R2 and C3PO) must belong to Obi Wan, and he says "I don't remember ever owning any droids." This was an innocent comment until the prequels came along and turned it into a misleading half-lie. As much time as Obi Wan spent with them, particularly in Chapter 3, he should have showed some recognition of them. Obviously, these two droids didn't belong in the prequel stories, at least in such large roles, but Lucas decided they were required for the "cute" factor, and for selling more toys.

Sorry if this is a repost (feel free to delete original). Quoted material wasn't all italics. I saw Sith last night and have taken this time to gauge my reaction. So here goes.
