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.

Any competent parent will know that the films need to be watched 4-5-6, 1-2-3.

and of course to watch it properly, you'll have to get the vcr out(to watch the original, untampered versions).....watch the kids scratch their heads in wonder about that......

Nah...if you're me, you just have to fire up the old laser disc player

(BTW I read a review somewhere recently that said the laser disc editions of 4-5-6 were the best and still original versions out there.)

LETTERBOXED. None of this panned-and-scanned crap.

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

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.
