Carp. Speed read fail.

Well, that's something that doesn't really bother me about the prequels. All we see in the OT is an old man, a newbie, and a machine. Doesn't it at least sort of make sense to have different styles, even if that wasn't the real reason it was done?

No, this argument stinks to high heaven.

As was already said in this thread, how much older is Christopher Lee than Obi-Wan? How much more robotic is Grevious than Vader? How much more newb is *any lightsabre kid that we see twirling* than RotJ Luke?

I should have been clearer. The concept doesn't bother me. The execution is something else - especially your Christopher Lee point. That decision was just stupid.

You could make the argument that Grevious was constructed (sort of) to be able to fight, while Vader was constructed to keep Anakin alive. But I'm not sure I'd make that argument.

And you'll have to forgive me for "already said in this thread" moments. I don't read hal posts very closely, if at all.
