Rodney-2187, feel don’t think. Trust your instincts. Haha. The novelization also gives history of the Sith that comes straight from George.

I’m interested to hear your thoughts JadedSkywalker and StarkillerAG after you watch!

I think one interesting thing to note about the Prequels is according to Steven Spielberg in a special called Omnibus (from the lead up to The Phantom Menace) is part of George’s concepts and process for the Prequels was the Sequels. So I do think some of the “Plotholes” like Anakin’s origins were to be explained later. As George told StarWars.com last year during a retrospect for the 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace that, “Early on, it was that Anakin had been more or less created by the midi-chlorians, and that the midi-chlorians had a very powerful relationship to the Whills [from the first draft of Star Wars], and the power of the Whills, and all that. I never really got a chance to explain the Whills part.”

This is in line with Mark Hamill telling an interviewer in the 80’s that more or less things end in another plain of existence and George discussing things briefly with James Cameron.

There’s also George saying in the commentary for Attack of the Clones that the Clone Wars is very, very important to the whole epic of Star Wars. Around the same time be said in an interview how there’s things in Episode II that connect to VII. I wonder if that could be Sifo-Dyas.

Maybe that one is reaching a little but it does give me the impression he did have a broader vision for the nine part saga even if he denied it happening for a period of time. I think ultimately he wasn’t always trying to link just the Originals and Prequels but set the groundwork for the Sequels if he ever went forward to make them.

It’s little things like these things that really make me think the “Plotholes” were intentionally not resolved and were there for later stories.

I love the Prequels and Originals equally.
