Why we hate the prequels at OT forum.

In the OT Jedi seems to mean more than just Jedi Knight.

I always felt the same way.  And it was for that reason that it somewhat annoyed me in ROTS when Obi-Wan was made a Jedi Master.  That seemed to come out of left field.  Obi-Wan was a Jedi Knight.  He fought.  He was a warrior.  He had been in wars in his youth.  Yoda was a Jedi Master.  He was a teacher.  He was a philosopher.  He was more spiritual.  It seemed an important distinction to me as a child, but that distinction was done away with in the prequels.

This is something that interests me as well.  I've been gathering notes to start a thread about what all the things in Star Wars originally meant and what we knew about the Star Wars universe in '77.  I'd like to include annotations of what was modified or expanded in '80 and '83.  I'm going to jump into it once I find my copy of A Guide to the Star Wars Universe by Bill Slavicsek, since it was one of the few works that was actually careful enough to distinguish between what was in the movies and what was EU.
