To: Good Tidings Of Great Joy
-It was impossible to get involved with the young boy because you knew he was gonna be D.V. I bet the same is true with this one.

-Enormous plot holes. I don't mean like "battle robots" that fall apart at the slightest touch; I mean like the combined intellect of the Ascended Masters of Jedi-dom telling Obi-Wan (Merlyn) not to train Anakin. "He bad news, bad juju, no train, no way, no sir!" they intone.

"Nyah, I'm a-gonna train him anyhow!" is Merlyn's response. Uh huh.

-A bunch of strangers show up. "Hi, were from outer space. Mind if we take your kid about 20 light-years thata way?"

"Sure. We'll make more [me and the metachlorians, or whatever they're called]." Anakin is evidently the result of immaculate conception and why isn't he a she, since parthenogenisis always results in females?

-If the meta-whatsiz control the force, why not culture them, centrifuge to concentrate, and inject 'em, just like athletes who "load up" with their own blood cells? Instant Force in a hypodermic.

Etc.

What a bore.

And P.S. what's with the kid building C3PO? A big surprise there. One would expect the robot to be devoted to Darth Vader later in the story...

Sure, why not? It worked in "Plato's Stepchildren"...
