That is what the prequels did, they have opened up more questions than answered them. For every 'plot hole' that I myself have and many other fans who weren't pleased with the PT, there is always an answer, although it may be a ridiculous answer, but there is one for every point.

Example: Leia remembering her mom, to me Lucas just couldn't explain it, so the company line is, "She remembers her mom through the force." I don't buy it, it is such a cop out, but it is an answer.

Another one is Owen remembering C-3PO in Episode IV, when he owned him in Episode II! Everyone who defends this says in the Original Star Wars to see how he questioned C-3PO to see if it was him. He asked him he was a protocol droid and spoke Bocche? Yeah, that was grilling! And he didn't even buy R2-D2 until the other droid blew up!

My whole point if Lucas wanted to make a strong prequel trilogy he would have been real dilligent in his planning, and make sure that everything matched up, but that is why they are average movies overall compared to the OT, because just like his directing, and his dialogue, now his story was not up to par either.

Wasted chance for movie greatness.
