Guys, the whole point of the Prequels is that the Jedi were arrogant and when their attackers came after them they were caught off guard.

If Lucas says that's way the Jedi die, that's the way the Jedi die. 

I want the little aliens that re-feuled Obi-Wan's ship on Utapau, plus all the other stuff mentioned.

Thinking about it now, there were very few new aliens in E3.

THAT IS NOT DARTH VADER!

You see, you're still not getting the Prequels.  The whole point of them was to change our perception of the originals.  Anyway, Vader always went after unarmed people (Antilles) and wimps (Motti).  Most "evil" people are cowards at heart. 

In the scene where the clones are discussing Obi-Wan's fall, there are some really, really tall guys walking with clones in the background.  These guys were like 10 feet tall.  I was really intrigued by them,

"I loved ROTJ at one point, but after becoming a lover of great film, it's nothing more than a guilty pleasure."

I agree.  I think that ROTJ is succesful only in the Vader/Luke/Emperor stuff.  Other than that, I think it's the slowest and most claustrophobic of all of the films.  While I dig the movie too, it's becuase I like SW, not because it's a great movie.  I think that ROTS is a stronger third act with a solid beginning, middle and end.

"not a single one of your other movies, unless it had the name Indiana attached to it EVER made any money,"

Dude, do some research.  American Grafitti made a huge amont of money, and earned Lucas his first millions.

"No, Leia remembering her real mother is just plain impossible."

So are Light Sabers.

Yeah.  I'm feeling kind of bummed too,  I had a great time on Wednesday night and Thursday with a good friend who came up to NY from NC, but he's gone home now.

The fact that Star Wars is "over," combined with the lonliness that I am feelling becuase my son (that I have been taking care of since January) has started daycare, has really put me in funk.  On one hand it's good because I can work full time again and my wife and I can spend more time together, but I miss the little guy during the day, and now I'm going to miss the Skywalker family.

While I'm  curious about the TV shows, I admit that I'm skeptical of them.  I'm afraid they'll be SW without the spectacle, and that doesn't interest me.
