1.) The trade dispute between Naboo and the federation is never explained. There is no motivation at all. Why does the Federation invade? what is it Naboo imports or exports to make blockading them worthwhile? Naboo is supposed to be a smallish out of the way world, why would the federation blockade it instead of some more high profile world, like say, Alderaan?
because palpatine told them to, because padme was young and easy to maniputate, and remeber the line in TMP " our situation will create a sympathy vote for us." pali told them to in order to became the grand chansilor.

2.) The Jedi wear the same robes Obi-Wan did in ANH. Kenobi was in *hiding*. He wore those clothes because everyone on tatooine wore simlar garb. If you're a Jedi in hiding, you don't wear your continue wearing your uniform.
everyone thought he was dead even the ppl on tatoneen so why not, and no one knew that he was a jedi. and his robe were on exactly like the jedi robes in the PT. and i think there are alot of ppl in the galaxy that dress in robes.

3.) Technology. It's a lot more advanced in the PT than in the OT. I'm sorry, but any argument about the T being in a better time for the galaxy is just bull. You seriously think the Empire would revert back to more primitive technology? There's a difference between ship design becoming more mechanical and utilitarian during the empire years than an actual about face in technology. Hell, if a 9 year old slave can builed a pod racer with a more sophisticated graphical user interface than the x-wing and tie fighters of the OT, then something is seriously wrong.
its not and seriously this arguemnt is starting to f*ckin piss me off. the reason they LOOK more advanced is cus they CGI, but infact if you were to look at it more carefully then you woulds see that it is not more advanced. is there anything like a D star in the PT the transports in AOTC look primitive in a sense, the walkers and ATATs in ESB are more advanced, just cus the ships look better doest meant that they are, maybe you should read some of the SW novels like the thrawn trilogy, SDs are far far far more advance then anything in the PT. the Tie fighters are fast and more numble then the noobien fighters, as are the x-wings, and y-wings.

4.) Protocol droids from 30 years before the OT are identical to the ones in the OT. Sorry, no advance in droid design in 30 years? I call shenanigans. The difference didn't have to be dramatic, but they should at least have made the effort.
ok telll em why would you fix something that works. the droids were great then so why change what they look like. they do probably have more features 30 years later. the other things that comes to minds is the fact that in a civilization that has last for 4000 years made they have prefect driod design to the point where doing any more may not be productive. fo example i remeber hearing a line once in the PT OT or EU where i guy was talking to a driod and said if driods were smarter then we would all be dead.

5.) Force Powers. The Jedi have the ability to run super fast in the beginning of TPM, yet, when that power would have become usefull at the end of the film, with Kenobi, Qui-Gon, Maul and the shield corridor (and don't even try to explain the logic behind that one) it disappears. Some will argue Obi was tired, I say bull. It's just more dramatic if he doesn't make it through, so we convieniently forget about that power for the time being.
see up till this point you had good points but say what you justsaid makes it sound as thought you dont want to like the PT in other word you never gave ti a chance, you were look for things that may be mistakes. ever thought that he may be tired, using the force does take alot out of you why do you think that jedi dont just go all out force. throwing things and such,( well masters do but a borderline knight i dont think so).

6.) Anakin built C-3PO? booooo. Yet somehow Kenobi, Vader, Owen Lars, and everyone who had ever come into contact with 3P0, and artoo for that matter, forget about them? Bull.
ok good point, i and many other have always been suspicious of whether kenobi nows the driods or not. as for owens your right he should remeber but that is a minor fault. vader, again maybe vader did know but when is he actually in contract with the driods fro a long period of time in any of the OT. who else are you refering to how many ppl are in the OT that are major in the PT??

7.) The Hyperdrive is Leaking. What? When in the OT or anywhere else has it ever been suggested that the hyperdrive uses any kind of fuel? The hyperdrive is not an engine, it's an apparatus which punches the ship out of normal space and into hyperspace. There would be nothing for the hyperdrive to leak.
how do you know are you a SW technician who nows exatly how a hyper drive works. we know that the ships use fuel so why cant it be plossible that the fuel is used fro the HD where does it say that the HD doesnt use fuel.

8.) Clone wars? what clone wars? These are clearly seperatist wars, that happen to be fought with clones.
well we havent really seen anything from the clone wars yet cus it started at the end of aotc but maybe its called the clone wars cus the clones were the domant weapon in the wars, cus the clone is what won the wars. hmm... its all speculation, but it doesnt matter any more cus it the name of the war is not really a plot hole, a lucas could have called it the war fro the galaxy if he wanted that is what it is about but he doesnt why i dont know only he knows.

9.) The empire is only 20 years old? Did anyone watching ANH come to the conclusion that the Empire was a mere 20 years old? well, considering the Empire doesn't come into existence until episode 3, and that Luke and leia are born in episode 3, and that in ANH they're both 20, yup, the Empire is only 20 years old.
what makes you believe taht the empire was older, nothing, waht makes you believe that it is young, well the leader has children when he was good, and he turned he became like the second in comand of the empire, mean that he probably had soemthing to do with it at the beginin... you see where i am going with this. and also there is a rebellion meaning that there are still parts of the galaxy that are still at war, and also you hear in ANH that the last of the senate is gone i dont think the senated would hang around for more then 2 decades after the empire had been founded. in it self it is strange in away that pali did kill the senate right away. but maybe he thought that if he did the entire galaxy would be in a upraor, its like puting a lobseter in water and warming of the water, the labster dont realize what has happened until its dead.

10.) the general public in the OT don't believe in the Jedi anymore. How effective was the Emperor's smear campaign against them if in a matter of 20 years, everybody has forgotten them? Surely people in their 40's and up remember the Jedi? Surely those races who love a lot longer do to. What gives?
who knows maybe the jedi are not as forgotten as we think maybe it was only on off water planets like tatooeen. in ANH takin talks about them as if they were just receently all killed. " the jedi are extinict you my friend are the last of there kind" also every oen knows about how the empire hunted them down. so therefore everyone thinks they are dead. and so dont really pay tht much mind to them.
