And yes, from what ive heard he didnt know if the movie would be successful and if he would be able to actually make IV and VI so he made IV so that it could stand alone. Hence the reason why when it was first released it didnt have the Episode IV A New Hope in the crawl. (this change I dont mind, though some people seem to, I like the fact that some of the LD->DVD transfers (EditDroid) have included both crawls because i think its neat to see that, but i do feel that this was part of his original plan for the OT, that is to have it as Episode IV)
as far as getting 'yelled at' by critics and the public, I say those critics and pubic that did the yelling dont know what their talking about and need to remove their heads from their anus. The LOTR books which PJ based the movies on didnt wrap up all nicely after each book. Its just like people that said he was trying to capitalize off the title 'The Two Towers'. someone should put people like that out of my misery.
but anyway, i digress.
Rarchy after reading your post Im second guessing what I said, I think it could/does work with the ending of TPM being 'happy' If you look at it from a not knowing the story in the OT point of view, as far as you know everything was made all better, Palpatine appears to be a good guy who is just trying to get the republic back on track and that is accomplished (for the most part) at the end. there are some hints of more to come from Qui-Gons funeral scene and Yoda/Mace's convo. I guess I thought the celebration parade was just a bit too much

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don’t exist… then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks… and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I also think GL made so many small, unimportant things fit that I can't see why he would overlook these obvious things.

He actually built the protocol droid R2 hangs out with too. But after he turned and his wife, your mom, died. Oh that was in child birth by the way, we gave the droids to Captain Antillies and had C-3PO's memory wiped. that was at the same time we sent you here to live with your uncle, and we sent your twin sister...oh, forgot, yeah, you have a twin sister who we seperated from you at birth and whos identity we kept hidden from you. Shes the one in the message, so get those nasty thoughts out of your head boy. Oh, before i forget, heres your Dad's lightsaber. I took it after i cut him in half and left him for dead on a volcanic planet. he was in pretty bad shape, but the emperor fixed him up with the mechanical body he has now...you know, maybe leaving him there wasnt the best idea in retrospect...oh well. Anyway, go pack your bags, you gotta learn the ways of the force and come with me so you can defeat your father."
