So since we know C-3PO will be in the prequels...

Any ideas about the origins of his silver leg?

Is it better to leave it a mystery or give an explanation?

20 years between III & IV, I'm sure it can be left to the imagination.

I think some things should be left to the imagination. I don't like how GL has tried to give us explanations for anything the fans have expressed interest in and ruining it for us (*cough*... Boba Fett! *cough*), and then try to tie up the end of each trilogy in a pretty little bow.

I showed my kids the movie Innerspace recently. My daughter didn't like it because of the open ending. She wanted to know exactly how everything turned out. I tried to explain to her that part of the fun is being able to imagine your own ending - you have plenty of clues as to what could happen next, but you get to decide for yourself. Regardless of whether or not the ST is any good, it would be great to see the Revisited saga end on a more ambiguous note... i.e the Death Star is destroyed and there's still a celebration, but there's more work for the Rebellion to do and Luke is leaving for another mission (reestablishing the Jedi order perhaps?).
