Finally something to look forward too. Qui-gon is my 3rd best character of all 6 films right behind Luke and vader.
About this causing yet another plot hole. I am sure it will. Lucas and clearly shown he does not care if something causes a plot hole. One more in his mind won't hurt anything.
As much as I hate the PT films I suggest anyone who has yet to watch the clone wars show to do so. Especially the last two seasons. They are everything the PT films should have been in regards to the anakin skywalker character. He is likable and he behaves like a respectable jedi knight.
I agree despite the rough patches caused by Lucas meddling the cartoons are still good because he is just an executive producer and idea man, as should have been the case on the prequels.
Okay so maybe he would have had to lay it all out and write episode I and Direct it, but there is no good reason he could not have broight in better writers and directors on II and III.
The only thing that can be said is that he probably started to believe the yes men, that he was infallible and some great auteur artist. The outcome of the prequels which could have been some of the best written sci fi films of the new millennium is the final act of hubris, after burying the real versions of the original star wars trilogy.
The jump in animation quality from the wooden stick figures in the movie to the high quality of season 3 is just amazing. The writing and Directing get better with time as well. All Misgivings about messing up the Canon aside.
