1) Gesture mirrors: “Star Wars: Episode IV” begins with a Blockade Runner that has obviously just escaped a blockade, and “Phantom Menace” begins with a (too) similar ship approaching a blockade, willingly entering it.

Wow... symbolism based on guessing something not in the movie based on knowing the name of a ship when the name never appears in the movie.

Also, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul (under all the makeup) are dead ringers

They are?

Much later, as I began to consider certain very strange scenes in the new trilogy, I realized that they were all elements of a hidden story, adding up to a precise opposite of the original trilogy

This article is like The Da Vinci Code of crap!

That's all Lucas has to say about those shitty films, "They mirror each other like poetry, it's stylistic and bold."

I agree with Lucas here. It is stylistic and bold. Pity it's also crappy.
