Yeah but I think he was just trying to make it like the endingof ANH. Thinking back on TPM I remember how similar the award bit was (the way Padme gave out the medals, you had the robots looking all shiny and new and Padme/Leia laughing at R2 (I think)) Maybe its just me, but I think he did it to be really similar

And I agree with what you say about LOTR, Tolken always said that the 3 books were one big book divided into 3 parts so anyone who complained about the films being like that didn't really get it

By the way my names Rachel (although its my username it sounds odd being called rarchy)
