CO--thanks for being able to say those things so i don't have to. I'm very tired today. Great post though. Thats the most logical and objective anaylsis of why the PT, as a whole, doesn't completely satisfy. That doesn't mean "it sucks" or "its crap" before any SE lover get offended, because I'll admit that there are parts of the PT that are fairly well done and that I enjoy. But overall, for the reasons CO posted, the I-VI saga doesn't work. And its no surprise--to try to form a new movies series by using twenty-year-old films as a basis and retroacitively joining prequels to them to consolidate the newly created story...its just such an impossible thing to do. You can't make films that weren't designed to tell a particular story tell a particular story.
