Well, it depends on your theory of time travel. Some say that time traveling leaves "shadows" of its existence. Therefore, whether or not Ben had any inclination to time travel in the revised timeline, the time traveling would already have happened.

And then there's also the theory of a fixed timeline, in which all effects of time travel have already been implemented, and there's no way to change anything.


Those are good theories as well. Hmm, the idea in Timeline sounds interesting. But based on thought experiments in our reality so far, certain events simply cannot be changed. For instance the classic example of the grandfather. Let's say you for some strange reason go to the past to kill your grandfather. So you kill him. He dies. Well, since he dies, your exact parents would never exist. So if they don't exist, you cease to exist, so you can't go back and kill him, therefore you exist. I will agree that some events might still be able to be changed without this parodox occuring, but it doesn't seem likely to me. But I digress, because I don't want this to derail into a discussion on time travel. We'll save that until the silly topic started by JennyS1138 has fizzled out...

I do not fall neatly into that category. I love the PT and the OT and the EU. Why? Because it ALL works very well for me as a (mostly) cohesive story. In fact, the only reason I refer to them as separate is to distinguish them. To me they are all one enjoyable story. Each part of the star wars story has its own story, design, and continuity flaws, but I enjoy each part equally.

But in my opinion, none of the films will be as well known in 20 years as they were or are now. They will simply be looked at as the greats of the past from a different generation. In 20 years, people won't really look at the films as separate trilogies, they'll look at it as the star wars story.

I do not believe any of the films are perfect. They all have flaws.

Myself, I'm kind of mixed on the supposed Qui-Gon scene from ROTS. Sure it would be cool to hear him. But, looking at the scene, I believe it was wise for them not to do it. As it is, the scene is very quiet, and the camera pans around Yoda's head before Bail Organa walks in and announces that Obi-Wan has made contact. You can tell Yoda is meditating or something, but you don't know exactly on what. And then later on, when Yoda tells Obi-Wan of his communication with Qui-Gon, it has an element of surprise to it as it is. I believe that's why they left the voiceover out, because of the surprise to the viewer when they hear Yoda tell Obi-Wan of Qui-Gon. I like it this way. However, as I said, I think it's cool to hear Liam again as Qui-GHon, so they could have at least had Liam record it for a deleted scene.
