lucas faces a no-win situation, you can't please the old fans, because it wouldn't 'match' what he wanted for the PT, and of course the people that like the PT sometimes find the OT clunky, slow, and outdated....

You phrase this like the PT either had to be the way it was, or it had to be slow and outdated to appeal to the OT fans. But that's not true, and it wasn's a no-win situation. It's entirely possible that Lucas could have told basically the same story while pleasing the OT fans. As an example of this, see the Clone Wars TV show.

This is my favorite mixed metaphor ever. Thanks for contributing a new phrase to my vocabulary!

Ha! I hadn't even noticed that. So this is like a 3-way with cake? yummmmm..............
