Perhaps Lucas could re-do the re-do of the originals to correct these errors!

That was her Jedi senses.

Shouldn't Obi remember that he was there for the birth? How could anyone forget watching a child be born even if it wasn't yours.
All in all I feel this was the best of the 6.
I also felt that my childhood is officially over as I saw the original when I was 8.
By the way my 8 and 5 year old Keets just loved it.

I know, yet he explains to Luke about them being seperated in ROTJ.
Perhaps it was just a chauvinist moment .

For anyone who wants to post spoilers, could you put them in a quote box and make the lettering white? That way they'll be invisible, but if anyone WANTS to see them, all they have to do is highlight the text in the quote box and it will appear.

Like so:

This is an example of a spoiler that I'm hiding so that people who haven't seen the movie won't see the text...

If you highlight what's in the box, you can see it.

Thank you, from those of us who haven't seen the movie yet.

ROSEBUD is the Sled he had when he was a young Jedi, after he won the Pod Race on Tatooine

Like that?

I think they missed the boat by not releasing the movie a couple of weeks earlier than they did. All the advertising could have said:
MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU

make your own... lightsabre?

(dumb, but funny)

WARNING: I'm usually not that big of a Star Wars geek, but these are things I'd thought myself, so it got me thinking. I'm a dork, yes, but not THAT big of one.

There is one other possibility: the "other" Yoda is referring to is actually Anakin. Yoda could just be holding out hope that Anakin is indeed "the Chosen One" of the prophecy and will ultimately destroy the Dark Side. (Although I think the idea of a slip-up in the screenwriting is probably more likely. )

Luke knew all along that Owen and Beru weren't his real parents, that Anakin had been his father. So that's why he was still Luke Skywalker. Leia never made any comments about being adopted or why she was Leia Organa, not Leia Skywalker. I've just always assumed that she never knew she was adopted and that the "mother" she refers to in ROTJ was her adoptive mother.

OK, maybe I'm a bigger dork than I thought.

Now that's just funny!! Would have been a great idea.

Just saw it for the second time and now I like it even more.
It all went so fast the first time and seemed a bit rushed at times but now it seemed much better.
I took my 5 year old Star Wars addicted son with me this time and he did fine. The cool thing was that I opted to go to the local family owned 2 screened theater here in town where I saw it as a kid. This time I actually got goose bumps and a sh#t eating grin when the 20th Century Fox drum roll started.
I actually thought the picture and sound was better there than at the big state of the art stadium seating AMC mega-theater that I saw it at on opening night.
Not to mention it was a 4:00 showing with 20 people tops.

I just dont watch that sort of movie ... even if Hugh Jackman were to be in it - I would not watch it

I saw it last night with some BIG Star Wars phans, and it was so much better than I expected. It is amazing that Lucas could tie the first 2 together to the origonals, after so long. What I loved about this was that it wasnt done up to be a fancy Hollywood movie, it was natural, this really feels like Star Wars!

It was such a captavating movie that a few times I just froze, I wanted to go in and yell at the characters and tell them not to do what they were doing!!!

It was AWSOME! Amazing job Lucas!

saw it for the third time yesterday, second time with my son.
Still love it!!

I have the same questions!!!!!!

I agree. I don't think Leia knew she was adopted, and Jimy Smits wife may die in a few years.

There was one question that has always puzzled me, and was not answered in Revenge of the Sith.

Who is Darth Vader's son so much shorter than he is? I mean, does anybody know a full grown son that's a foot shorter than his dad? Is the some kind of moisture farming fumes that would stunt his growth??
