Good site, Erich, and welcome to the boards! You'll find here that a majority of us agree with you on varying levels, so I hope you post here again! I'm not as anti-PT as you, but I did agree with a most of your points. I especially liked your History Channel analogy, because 'The Hitler Channel' is a running joke between my best friend and I, since we watch it often. And you're right about the screwing up of Anakin's age. One of the first things Lucas could have done was bump the prequels up on the chronology, placing the first one immediately preceeding the Clone Wars and introducing an Anaking just coming out of adolescence. The second and third would take place during the Clone Wars, as Anakin falls closer and closer to the Dark Side, on a path parallel to, but the polar opposite of, Luke's. But Lucas has become arrogant, believing himself to be flawless in his intellect, so what we have is a very flawed trilogy. But though I can stand the prequels, and actually watch them, I have infinitely more enjoyment with Luke's story, so I watch the classics more often. I'll be linking to your site on my blog, and I'll be looking forward to your future posts!
