I enjoyed the first and second Star Wars but kind of lost track of the following episodes and didn't pay too much attention. When I heard this latest one was going to bring the story around full circle then I figured I'd tune in to see how they did that.

I think the reviewer was right for the most part. The opening few scenes were kinda hokey and the fight scenes with the funky looking soldiers getting sliced up with the light sabres seemed to be put together as an afterthought to kill some time. Alot of the dialogue sounded like a junior high school play. The original Star Wars (and Return of the Jedi) had a comic element that was intentional. This last one had a comic element also but I don't think it was intended.

But I do have a quick question. I thought in the original Star Wars (if I remember correctly), R2D2 and C3P0 were purchased from some traveling junked robot dealers. I didn't see how that gap was closed between Episode III and Episode IV. Anybody?

The ship Bail Organa [Jimmy Smits] uses at the end of "Sith" is the ship Leia is fleeing from the Star Destroyer on at the beginning of the original "Star Wars". Organa turns both R2D2 and C3PO over to the ship's Capatain, with an instruction to wipe C3PO's memory banks. Both droids are on the ship when Vader takes it, and flee in an escape pod with Leia's message to Kenobi.

I hope someone can help you. I've missed a couple of episodes of Star Wars and haven't seen the current one yet. More than likely, I'll wait until they all come out in a boxed set of DVDs and watch the episodes in order.

You are correct, however, the traveling junk dealers acquired the droids after the beginning of the original "Star Wars" when Princess Leia shot them down to Tattoine in an escape pod as her ship was being boarded by Darth Vader.

Princess Leia put the Death Star plans and a message into R2D2, giving him instructions to bring it to Obi-Wan on Tantoonine. R2 took a life pod off the ship and C3PO jumped on board for the ride, as Darth Vadar and his forces had just taken over Leia's imperial flyer.

They landed on Tantoonine, but were captured while trying to look for Obi-Wan and eventually sold to Luke's family. R2 was still programmed to find Obi-Wan, and took off after Luke removed his restraining bolt. C3PO and Luke went after, thereby encountering Obi-Wan and bringing all the characters together to save the Princess.

well R2 and C3P0 go with Princess Leia to Alderaan. They are with her when her ship is attacked over Tatooine and bail out and land in Tatooine where they are captured by Sanddune
