LOL, why didn't I think of doing something like that. Walk out of the theater and loudly exclaim, "WOW! I can't believe Yoda is Luke and Leia mother!!!"

If George had really wanted to screw with us and make our heads spin more than they did after ESB, he could have had it turn out that Obi-Wan was the real father of Luke and Leia. That would have added some much needed depth to the PT. There were any number of twists he could have pulled on us... perfectly good waste of some incredible opportunites, traded away for some really long advertisments for toys, video games, and some very creative suckers in the form of lightsabers and tongues. Imagine if there had been a Padme sucker of the same design as the Jar Jar sucker, despite being a little creepy for poor Miss Portman, I bet that thing would have out sold the Jar Jar sucker ten to one.

Another thing that can be said for episode one, I honestly miss the laughs I used to get everytime I would go to the store with my friends back in 1999 and we would make fun of the new SW merchandise. Those are probably some of my most memorable moments of the PT era.
