This is probably old to you guys, but I have been thinking a lot today about how amazing of a world was created in the OT. It felt like a believable galaxy far far away. My theory on that is it seems like the way our world would be expanded to the size of a galaxy. What GL should've done in the prequels was expand on this galaxy, but in an odd way, he made it feel a lot smaller in the PT and less believable. The first culprit to that is he focused too much on politics and it was too similar to our governments we have here on planet earth. The second problem was rehashing all of the characters and elements from the OT. He should've tried new things, not bring back all the character from the OT and putting them in the most predictable and contrived positions in the story. Like having C3P0 and R2 D2 back on Tatoonie living with the Lars. Or how about Chewbacca in episode 3 meeting Yoda, pure rubbish. I'm surprised we didn't see a 10 year old Han Solo winning a bet for the millenium falcon against a ten year old Lando in episode 3.
Outside that, what else is wrong with the PT and what other contrivences irretate you?
