What, we had no idea, how he turned to the Dark Side, what are you talking about, it gave Vader more depth, for the worse, or for the better, everyone must judge for himself.

Aside from a money making ploy, and a way to bring back Lucas's uber celebrity status, the PT still added more to the story. For better or worse, it's still an extra three movies which aren't terrible. No need to rip 'em to Hell just 'cause they're not as good as the OT.

Fair enough. But the whole PT is kinda like a wasted chance of what could have been. There's that one line in ANH where OB1 says about Anakin that he 'was a good friend'... Guinness really performed a sense of loss there, sort of like a brother in arms in he lost. But no where in the entire PT do I get an sincere connection between Anakin and OB1. Sure, there is the odd line here and there that some may consider 'establishing dialogue' but we never really see them in true unison. All they do is bicker.
I've always felt very strongly that there shoudl have been an Epidode II.5. We missed A LOT in the Clone Wars (and not just of clones). It was either in the comics or in the microseries, but Kenobi expresses feelings that he doesn't know what to do with Anakin. He tries his best, but always is more authoritarian than he needs to be.
I think Kenobi's emotion is more just hindsight bias and old age...he sees, or wants to see, Anakin as more of a friend.
Maybe again...it was something more that they were both denying at the time....
I agree with the Episode II.5 just to show more about what happened, more war scenes and less politics. I also think there should be a III.5, there is too much open space there, it could show how the Empire became such a powerhouse as well as the beginning of the rebellion. I would also like to see Vader hunt down some Jedi.
An Episode II.5 just shows the three movies lack something.
And OB1 biased hindsight is such a lame argument. Then OB1 would be a senile old git thinking the whiny little sh!t from the old days was really a friend. He kinda lost memory all 15 years of bickering.
And Ob1's bawling on Mustafar? Indeed... that is about all we get. Why don't we (and for some reason I keep asking this about many topics in the PT) get to SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it!. Isn't like "SHOW, DON'T TELL' the golden rule in filmmaking? well, it is. Write a book if you want to tell things.
Well one reason i think like SO many people have pointed out is that NO ONE CARED and secondly if Yoda or Ben told Luke about the Sith Luke would be asking ALOT of questions about them maby....Luke would ask his FATHER or something like that and then WHAM! perfect timeing for Vader to make Luke fall into the DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE.

And at that time, the History of the Sith and great majority of stuff to do with them, wasn't created yet, wasn't truly explained of the time of the OT.

But the point is: it didn't matter at for Luke's destiny and challenge. He's not facing a Sith legend, he's facing Vader and the Emperors - agents of teh Dark Side of the Force. The word Sith is meaningless and the whole history might only be confusing to a padawan. "Focus on the here and now."
