In relating to your first post - I should say, the stuff that bothered me the most was how they related the story lines from the prequels. I think there was an attempt (failed, in my opinion - whether that was bad acting or bad directing, I don't know, nor do I care any longer) to show the parallel story lines, but it just didn't pan out.

The special, in fact, focused more on the prequels than I would have liked. The mythic stuff was really in full-play for the original trilogy. Plus, it was blah blah blah blah - if you someone was really into mythology and classic story telling, they probably knew a lot of it and got bored - if they weren't into that stuff already, then they were probably bored from the start.
