Where is The Emperor, he is the star of the prequels, and he is mentioned in one line in the movie?
I would love nothing more than if Lucas had a chance to see my edit and, specifically, what I did after the credits in ANH. Re-using what I deleted from ESB (because of incongruity introduced within the movie itself) here also allows us to see Palpatine in the movie in a way that doesn't disrupt the movie as we know it.
Other than Jedi starfighters, no other ships do this. To the kids who ask this question, I answer them to pay better attention to the prequels themselves.
Why does ObiWan call him Darth Vader in Episode IV, and when he called him Anakin throughout the Duel in Episode III, when he was clearly Darth Vader by then?

Where is the inner thoughts of Vader about his loss of his wife, and why is the whole movie really not about him?
Here's what bothers me most about the up-and-coming generation, and what Lucas has been saying. No matter which way you order the saga, the PT is about Anakin, Padme and Obi Wan. The OT is about Luke, Leia and Han. Those who can't make the mental separation between the focus of the two story lines concern me more than those who complain about FX. At this point, 20 years have passed. Vader has had a chance to consume Anakin almost completely. While he undoubtedly thinks about her, he probably didn't brood on her any more. In fact, his old emotions didn't start to resurface until Obi-Wan came onto the Death Star.
Quite simply, Obi-Wan is old, and Vader is practically a robot. They just aren't agile any more. Lord Tyrannus' acrobatics in ROTS actually undermine the OT in this respect.
edit: Not to mention the fact that Obi-Wan tells Luke "I'm getting too old for this sort of thing" and Vader actually says "Your powers are weak, old man." Lucas was right in the PT to make the saber duels "faster, more intense." than the OT. Newbies need to understand this was by design and for a good reason.
Why when they go to hyperspace, do they not go into that circle, and then go to hyperspace like the prequels?

Why is the lightsaber battle so slow, and really nothing comparable to the prequels?

MBJ answered this perfectly in an earlier post when he said: "Because he didn't realize how truly far gone Anakin was at that point."
