Plus I think some of you guys out there take star wars way too seriously, I mean lucas meant the films to be fun and entertaining but they are not religious writ, or philosopher's discurtions on life. after all they were made as kids movies, saturday afternoon serials. Maybe a lot of you out there have grown up since you saw them and some of the stuff no longer fits. There is a lot more sci-fi/ fantasy out there that is written for adults and even caters to the more cerebral adult mind, just don't expect to find it in star wars.
That being said I do know that Jedi is a barely desguised re-make of the first star wars just like last crusade was a remake of raiders.
