Flaws, plotholes, and "could-have-been-done-betters" in the OT (alternate plot points especially welcome)
Time

We have a few threads about things that could have been improved on (an understatement, I know) in the PT, but how about the OT? What could have been done differently?

EDIT: To clarify, this does not include technical flaws, but story points, characterizations, etc.

When I have time to type out a longer post, I will, but for  now I'll just say that the Ewoks should have been a lot less cute and cuddly and the stormtroopers should have been actually being able to fire a blaster.

The Historical Discussion Thread: All Discussion Pertaining to History is Welcome
Time

January 14:

A.D. 1514: A papal bull against slavery is issued by Pope Leo X.

A.D. 1690: The clarinet is invented in Germany.

Important because I play it.

A.D. 1794 AD: The first successful Cesarean section is performed in Virginia by Dr. Jessee [sic] Bennet on his wife.

Important because that's how I was born.

A.D. 1878: Racial separation on trains is deemed unconstitutional in the U.S.

That's two important anti-racist actions on the same day.

Hey, seriously you did well.  if you'd dropped instead of moving the king, it might have been the twenty you'd predicted.  In any case, I hope you've been reading up on the other variants I've suggested.

Sort of. I've taken a look at them all, but I haven't done much more than that yet.

  I think they could be fun and quick.  I won't be able to play while at work (unless we can find something similar to assist my visualization), but I think they will be fun.  We'll just have to wait till evening.  Did you get that other software working correctly?

 I haven't yet sorted everything out because I don't want to spend too much time on it when I should be studying. Yesterday I wasn't home all afternoon and part of the evening, so I didn't have time then either. I might figure it out this evening, but if not, I should have it figured out tomorrow evening.
