yeah, i think it pretty much does, ive seen the parallels before myself. But honestly i have a problem with it. When ANH ended, it had the possibility of being the only one. Due to its success Lucas was able to go ahead and make ESB and ROTJ, and they flow as one story, even though ESB ends everything isnt wrapped up all nicely.
In TPM Lucas does this same thing, with ending it, its all pretty much wrapped up. But he knew that there would be an Episode II and III so why did he make it have a 'stand alone' ending. I think he should have went more with a LOTR type story for these and have all 3 movies tell one continuous story (the rise and fall of Anakin). basically give them all endings like ESB, so its not 'ok, thats 2 hours, cut the film here everything after it will be the next movie' but so they all continue together and if watched back to back would be one 6+ hour long movie
