never said i agree...i said kinda agree. the kinda is there because i was agreeing that lucas causes bigger inconsitancies to the original movies than the EU does, most of the EU's inconsistancies are between various story lines in the EU (now i havent read all of it, so if im off base here dont flame me). and few if any are with EU story and the original trilogy. Lucas made a new story that should jive 110% with what star wars actually is and with the original storyline yet he failed to do so. A few authors didnt read the 'hundreds' of stories already written for the EU and make theirs jive perfectly with each and every story, a task that gets harder the more stories that are written. all lucas really had to do was make a story that fit perfectly with the 3 original movies, a story that he wrote...a much simpler task, yet he failed.
