Haven't thanked any of you fine folks in awhile, so thanks to Scramba, JP, and all the rest for helping us non-hyperspacers.
I'm really starting to think that Ep3 is gonna make up for the prequels.
Actually, after listening to Lucas' commentary on the OT, I understand better what he's doing and don't hate him so bad anymore. He seems more into chromatic themes, recurring lines and situations, and 'hero myth' symbolism than actually making a movie that makes sense. As far as doing what he set out to do, he's definitely succeeding. I can forgive him for plot holes and cheesy dialog, since neither of those elements are high on his list of priorities.
