5. Episode III messes up the story telling time line.
(Episode II is ten years after Episode I, but Episode III is only three years after Episode II. The time span from Episode II to Episode IV is 22 years. Episode III should have been 11 years after Episode II and taken place after Anakin Skywalker had turned into Vader, after Luke and Leia's birth and after Padme's death. This seems to fit better into the Star Wars Saga and it would have NOT conflicted with the classic "Leia remembers her real mother" moment of Episode VI or destroy the Classic "Leia is really Luke's Sister" moment of Episode VI or destroy the Classic "I am your Father" moment of Episode V. also it would have made it so Episode III could have more emotion depth to the OT like showing an eight year old Leia with her foster parents on her homeworld {Leia's foster parents and her homeworld are destroyed in Episode IV} or an eight year old luke befriending old ben and luke's childhood with his aunt and uncle {old ben, luke's aunt and uncle are killed in Episode IV}. Episode III should have been 11 years after Episode II and 11 years before Episode IV. This is were the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video game/novel/comic hits the nail on the head and were the Episode III movie fails.)
That would have been at least 10 times worse than what we got, truely terrible idea!
