...tell the story of his father's fall from grace. Except when you begin to see the parallels in their two seemingly different lives.


Umm, could you maybe make a list of these similarities. It's just that, we're 2 thrids of the way through the PT, and personally, I'm not seeing a whole lot of similiarities between Luke and Anakin. The best I could say is that they're both kinda whiney. Unless there's a dramatic turn in Episode 3 where we get to see some similarities, I'd say the prospect of the PT throwing Luke's character into a new light is really slim. As it stands now it hasn't happened, so Ep 3 has its work cut out for it.

Oh, a little off topic, but here's a couple of continuity issues I have:

1.) Somehow, Obi-Wan is going to have to be unaware of Leia's existence in episode 3. He can know about Luke, but considering he doesn't find out about Leia until (presumably) ESB when he says "that boy is our last hope" and Yoda says "No, there is another" which I assume was followed by an off-screen spilling of the beans to Obi Wan.

2.) If Padme bites it in ROTS, they'll have to make the film cover a pretty large schwack of time, because Leia remembers her mother. Let's be generous and assume Leia can recall images and feelings from as far back as being 3 years old. Any earlier than that is getting ridiculous. So, Padme has to Live, with Leia, in hiding, for 3 years, and then she can die.

3.) If Luke and Leia were the universes last hope, and if Jedi are only supposed to be trained starting when they are very young, then why were they hidden away, seperately, and allowed to grow up? Why were they not secreted to yoda on Degobah to be trained?

4.) At some point in ROTS, Anakin needs to have a lightsaber like Luke's ROTJ saber, because the emperor tells Luke that his lightsaber is "much like your fathers" and Anakin's saber is clearly nothing like Lukes.

Just some thoughts
