Even though I don't agree with all the points, I think this post of 1Shouta is an excellent example of how incredibly screwed up this so called epic saga of six episodes Lucas have tried in so amateurish ways to make a cohesive whole of. Isn't it now a newcomer to the series is supposed to finally be able to sit back and be blown away by his complete saga in the "correct" order with all his latest "improvements." No, Lucas have failed in epic proportions, and he couldn't and still cannot find his way out of this mess himself. I find it refreshing to hear this view by someone from the younger generation that sees it now "the ways it was always meant to be". Nice to see it's working. ;) Was it only Kaminski's book that made you see the light?

I can understand your annoyance 1Shouta, and your desire to have a less fragmented series of films. Part of that is probably because you love the good parts of it so much. I learned to accept this myself when we never got a real continuation of ESB, Jedi is basically my prequel, I was extremely disappointed by that film and have actually still to this day only seen The Phantom Menace of the new films, only short snippets of the others. I'm sure there were those that were disappointed by ESB as well. Some people back then, including my own father to just give an example, expected a sort of self contained story like the first film, sort of in the similar vein of the later Indiana Jones series.

These films will unfortunately never be a story-consistent series of films to some of us, no matter what stupid things Lucas tries with them nowadays. It's a mess. Much of it as you know was basically made up as he went along. You just have to accept it or just watch and enjoy the films you do like (in the case of SW it is rather difficult though with the suppression of the originals going on).
