I'm sorry I couldn't reply sooner. But I just want to thank anybody that replied and to this site that allows Star War fans to vent their frustrations. To those saying that Homer or Shakespeare isn't a comparable example. Well maybe The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. My point is that I feel that Star Wars is an iconic piece of art that could potentially survive the far test of time.

It's sad that the stories I imagine in my mind is better, or at least more consistent, than whats shown on the big screen. The only way I can reconcile what I feel Star Wars should be and what it is, is to literally block out what I dislike out of my head and rewrite the blank spaces.

As probably a huge number of Star Wars fans had to do as evidenced by the large number of "Rewrite the Prequels" threads on other Star Wars forums.
