End of jokes.
Anyways, someone here once wondered if the Jedi were shown to be retarded in the Prequels so that they were the authors of their own downfall?
I really like in the Luke + Mara Jade get married comic "Star Wars Union" that the Jedi officiating at their wedding says something to the effect of "So... I guess we recently learned, in the prequels anyways, that Marriage was forbidden by the old Jedi Order... But it seems to have been serving us just fine, so we're a just going to keep doing it! And hopefully Adywan will fix the prequels and this whole awkward word balloon can sail away! Sail away into the oblivions!"
I may be paraphrasing there. Poor EU- having to keep up with the changes that GL keeps laying down.
