That doesn't make sense..... That's like saying, well, we had Jedi in one of the movies, they shouldn't be in another.... That's the same stupid mentality that got us Ewoks instead of wookies in ROTJ.

And haven't you heard the saying that a girl will marry a man like her father... Lots of truth in that... So think about it..... Maybe that's secretly why she was attracted to Han, because he seemed similar to the man who helped shape who she is.

And its a mentality similar to yours that got us the Jedi order as we know it in the prequels, a bunch of superhero types

I'm curious how that works. Now, if I said every character in the prequels should be just like Han Solo, then your comment would be valid. I didn't say that.

Now, I will agree with you to an extent that there were an over abundance of Jedi in one action sequence in the prequels, but to say that they should have been few and far between goes against what was implied in OT. "They were the guardians of peace and justice..." That to me says there were many. Jedi are glorified cops, and you'll need plenty to provide justice across the entire galaxy. Not just 6. How would that work in my town if there were only 6 cops? 

Now if you're just simply saying that my mentality is the same that made Jedi superhero types.... Um.... Isn't that what they were supposed to be??? Why have powers if they aren't going to be viewed in that light?

Anyway, please read my posts before you misrepresent me. Thanks.
