I know that there is an effort to make everything mesh to, but just as the open architecture of PCs leads to numerous incompatibilities, so does the very nature of several writers giving their own takes on Star Wars stories. Just as with the films, some books are good, and some books are crap. You just have to be realistic about what was intended, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Oh I know. And trust me- I LOVE to nitpick movies... much to the hatred of my close friends. I haven't posted my full review of ROTS, but I will say my initial reaction was... ho-hum. NOT because of plot points or this-not-matching-that because I gave up any hope of that after seeing TPM. My main problem with ALL the prequels was that they were, IMHO, just not very good examples of filmmaking. I've seen some movies that were brilliantly crafted and scripted that I haven't liked the 'story' but I found these films devoid of internal consistency, clarity, true depth of character and, frankly, technical prowess. And before people jump on that last part, CGI- good or not- does not a well- crafted film make. I doubt anyone would deny ILM has the skills to pay the bills, but they're only as good as the project that they are creating.
