Yeah, pretty much what I just said exactly. I agree with Scruffy that we're made to rationalize, and it's fun to do so a lot of the time. But it's simply the fact that the prequels make so much nonsensical rationalizing (paradoxical statement, I know... but, damn, it's late, and I can't remember the term for those kinds of statements, and it's pissing me off, but I'm spending too much time not writing about the topic) almost necessary. And it's from the other side. "Revenge of the Sith makes sense because..." "Leia wasn't really talking about her real mother because..." "Leia was talking about her real mother, and it still makes sense because..."

How about, good storytelling in Star Wars has been lost because....
