Good thoughts. It's obvious that the PT Jedi cannot be reconciled with the OT Jedi. Just look at how the "old men" were so slow in the OT while Yoda (the oldest man in the room) can bounce off the walls like a freakin', jet-propelled, ping-pong ball.

And who can forget the Jedi leaving Schmi Skywalker in slavery on Tatooine, to be eventually raped to death by Sandpeople? Evidently I could.

That ALWAYS made no sense to me. I thought the Jedis were noble knights and were allowed to go around the universe doing good things. Instead they're a bunch of do-nothing pricks who forbid a kid to go help free his mom from slavery?! What, you can't help/love the universe as whole by helping individual people? I don't get it.

(At the very least, wouldn't their midichlorian scientists want to study a woman who gave birth to a "VERGENCE" IN THE FORCE?!!)

George Lucas is such a lazy writer.
