I think it would have made more sense to have still have Yoda and the councel deny permission to train Anakin and have Obiwan decide to train Anakin in secret. That would work much better with what OBiwan said in ROTJ "I took it apon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought I could I train jedis just as well as Yoda could. I was wrong."

here is another thing that has always bothered me. In ESB Obi says that Yoda was " The jedi master who instucted me ". In TPM we find out it was really Quigon who trained Obiwan. I guess Lucas will have reedit the ESB so it fits his "original vision" right.

I think the worst part of the PT(so far) happened in Attack of the Clowns when Anakin compared the sand on Naboo to Padme. Was there ever a worse written line or a line so poorly given as that one. I'd quote but, do you really need to reread it? I would have prefered another fart joke then to have to hear that line.

i mean now he's going back and replacing things that he could have just done in the PT to begin with...


I agree completely. here are some more plot holes:

1 when the Jedi counsel at first decide not to train Anakin. They say he is too old. Yoda trained a much older Luke with relative ease.

2 At the end of the TPM the Jed cousel change their minds and decide to train Anakin. No reason is given for this change of heart.

3 the Jedi counsel decide Obiwan should train Anakin. Does this make any sense? You're sooo afraid that Anakin will turn to the Dark Side that at first you decide not to have him trained then you change your mind and decide to have him trained by someone who just became a Jedi Knight himself and has zero experience at training Jedi. There was no other experienced Jedi Master available to train him. What was Yoda doing? I know at the end he was still against Anakin being trained. But surely someone as intelligent as Yoda would be able to reason that since Anakin is going to be trained he at least should be trained by an experienced Jedi Master and not a rookie.

4 the Jedi can't realise the Senator Palpatine is Darth Sidious. In ANH when Darth Vader was chasing Luke in his fighter he realizes that "the force is strong with this one". You're going to tell me that the whole Jedi councel while standing next to Senator Palpatine can't realize that the dark side of the force is strong with him. come on!

5 Why did Darth Didious send Darth Maul to attack the Queen on Tat? If the Queen had been killed she would not have been able to go to Coruscant to declare a vote of no confidence in the President.

6 What kind of Senate has the leaders of worlds declaring votes of no confidence on the senate floor? Its the Senate! isn't that the job of senators?

I could go on but that is all I have the time for now.
