While I don't agree with Palp creating Skywalker, I can see one reason for not "healing Vader" or creating a more powerful Jedi to train. It would be explained in ROTS, when he said that the Dark Lord had taught his apprentice everything he knew, and then his apprentice rose up and killed him. Anakin knew he was more powerful than Palp, he says it throughout the saga. However, Palp keeps that one in the chamber, that ace up his sleeve, not teaching his apprentice everything or putting his apprentice at a disadvantage to ensure his power. He treats Vader as his lapdog in all the films, even though Vader is far more powerful. With Vader and Palp as the only two remaining Sith/Jedi, Vader is Palp's only competition.

Now, as for my review of the film, I'm just going to paste what I told Walbler about it in his thread:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I were to make a Star Wars trilogy, they would be III, IV, and V. I think in order of quality, they go V, IV, III, VI, II, I. While I see that you are not seeing ROTS as part of a boycott, and I've seen others that have bashed it as rubbish, I think it's great. If it had come out in 1983, we would be embracing it full on. I've now seen it 5 times (I own a theater) and have loved it each time. There are certain scenes that you still get goosebumps as they appear on the screen. John Williams score works SO wonderfully with this film. There are many moments that you feel like you are watching something out of the Godfather, the way the music takes over and the imagery blows your mind. Does it have it's faults? Sure, but all of them have. While we love the Star Wars films (particularly the OT) EVERY one of them have had their level of cheesy lines and wooden acting. ROTS is no better, and also no worse. People want to blast Portman's acting in the non-spoilerish death scene? How about you take a hard look at the celebration on Yavin when Luke, Han and Leia meet up again after the battle. I mean, really think about how bad the acting is there. It is cringe worthy.

So, while I know you are boycotting it, if you do watch it, go into it with an open mind. Think of it as the first Star Wars film EVER, and just enjoy being sucked into this summer film. I promise you, the final 45 minutes of this film will leave you screaming MORE, MORE LORD LUCAS, when I thought I would be happy to see this come to an end. Lucas somehow found a way out of the two mucky prequels to find a way of having the audience wanting more.

We've had 5 screenings for the general public, and the crowds have eaten it up. They've left buzzing about how much they enjoyed it and how they had to rush home now and watch IV because they are too excited. They've applauded at all the right times, laughed at all the intended jokes and I've actually seen people cry as Anakin does all the wrong things for all the right reasons.

Wheew, that's enough. I know I'm probably alone on this site because most of you ADORE the OT (as you should) and consider the PT bastardizations of the films that should have been untouched. But I beg you to look at this film on it's own, as if it were the first Star Wars and ANH and ESB would have followed as THE trilogy. I hope you will fill as I do, that ROTS leaves you wanting the next chapter, and that's all any film can hope to accomplish.
