From what i have seen one way Tfn'ers excuse how bad the prequels are.

Mentioning the Jedi Purge reminds me of one of the inanities of the PT storyline.

According to the TPM novelization, there are only about 10,000 Jedi in existence at the time the Naboo invasion begins. If this plot point comes directly from Lucas himself and is true for the films proper, then that means five things: the Jedi should be virtually unknown to most of the people in the Republic, the Jedi should be too few in number to act as peacekeepers for the Republic at large, the Jedi Order should be too small to provide any significant contribution to the war effort during the Clone Wars, the Jedi should have been easily overwhelmed and wiped out fighting in the Clone Wars, and that Palpatine went to extreme and contrived lengths to wiped out the Jedi; he basically spent decades arranging an interstellar war just to wipe out a religious order smaller than most small town populations when he could have just arranged a Jedi convocation and then blown them all away with one average nuke.

As for Solo being more cool for modern audiences I remember when the first film came out my primary school music teacher (who in 1977 was already in her fifties) was raving about Han and nothing else.

In her eyes he stole the show.

So it's not a modern thing.


This reminded me of something I've noticed about Han. He seems a lot more sly in SW than in the sequels, with a much more weasely voice in parts, like when he says "I don't have it with me" to Greedo on Tatooine and during his conversation with Luke & Ben on the Falcon about the existence of the Force.

I'm not criticisizing this, mind you. Just making an observation.
