Blasphemy!

Seriously, though, the original trilogy IS the story. There is no "works better", it's what it is. It's pure laziness that Lucas couldn't write a backstory that actually matched up with the story he originally wrote.

She does say the queen will fire her for having a baby. It's your guess as to why: Apparently out of wedlock, married a Jedi, not following correct breading lines (ie arranged marriages), senators (like priests) are not allowed to have kids, it was the wrong month for a senator to be pregnant?

I think he said it as soon as he figured it out. Based her on comments like "I cannot believe that". With stress on the word "cannot"

I'm trying to think what it will be like for future kids that watch these in order one through six. Knowing that Darth is torturing his own daughter, Luke keeps hitting on his sister (plus the kiss), no real mystery as to who "the other" is. I think it would have been better NOT to have specifically named the two kids but I suppose it was to blatantly obvious to anyone who they would become.

I know one thing, MY kids will be watching it in the correct order (original trilogy first).

Speaking as a man with a sister.....ick! I have always been grossed out by the Luke/Leia kiss ever since we learned they were twins.

Does this have to do with Qui-Gon figuring out the ghost thing? In any case, I don't think I buy it.

I was annoyed we didn't get to see Qui-Gon as a ghost. I can almost hear Yoda telling Obi-Wan, "Wait for the DVD release, you must." They must have shot that, right?

See, but this is lame. Anakin is supposed to be practically glowing with the Force - shouldn't his children be obvious to any Jedi Master? Never mind that his feelings are so focused on her. It's more "The dark side clouds everything" BS. Look, either you feel things with the Force, or you don't!

I'm with GD on the Leia line in Jedi. For God's sake, those movies exist, he should have watched them again before writing these.

All the continuity problems are avoidable and unnecessary!

Can we just tell them Ep.1-3 are not part of our belief system, kind of like the New Testament?

I actually thought that was a pretty stupid line. Jedi are pretty absolute, aren't they? The whole "dark side is evil" thing? Pretty absolute.
