   In the scene when the two robots walk across the hall and don't get   
   shot, right before the explosion on the right side, a few frames are   
   missing.  Have you noticed that?  It's not mentioned in the imdb   
   mistakes list - maybe it's not a mistake.   
      
      
   You know what ALWAYS drives me CRAZY?  As the rebels & Imps are blasting at   
   each other aboard the TANTIVE, R2D2 & C3PO cross that hall la-de-dah, and   
   with blaster fire going off ALL AROUND THEM, not ONE manages to hit them.   
      
   Meanwhile rebels are going down & getting hit...but R2 & 3PO make it through   
   without a scratch.   
      
      
      
   And don't even get me STARTED on "a young JEDI NAMED Darth Vader".  I mean,   
   Luke may know little about the Jedi or Sith, but don't you think he could   
   have potentially said, "Darth? Isn't that a SITH name?  How could a guy   
   named "Darth" be a JEDI?  Why were you training a Sith?".  Obi-Wan could   
   have just said, "a young Jedi I was training turned to the dark side".  If   
   Luke knows ANYTHING at all about the Jedi (which evidently he DOES: "you   
   were a Jedi knight?"  "you fought in the Clone Wars?"), it suggests that he   
   knows by extension that their enemies are the Sith.  And, taken a step   
   further, only SITH are known as "Darth".   Obi-Wan must see that he has SOME   
   concept of the Jedi, yet he goes ahead & tells Luke that he was essentially,   
   what Luke could interpret it as, training a Sith in the Jedi arts.   
      
      
   And ANOTHER thing..."a certain point of view"???  IF >>>I<<< were Luke, at   
   this point, I would have told the old man, "What kind of crap   
   rationalization is THAT???   You mean you've been bullsh*tting me about my   
   father this whole time?  Why, so you could manipulate me into finishing the   
   job you COULDN'T?   Dad was RIGHT about the Jedi.  To HELL with you.  I'm   
   joining Pop on the Dark side".   
      
      
      
   And one MORE thing: Han watching the FALCON depart & saying, "I just have   
   the feeling I'm never going to see her again".  This suggests that a.  Han   
   is going to die;  b.  the FALCON is going to be destroyed.  NEITHER of which   
   occurs.  Meaning this line makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.  YES, I know, it was   
   discussed that Han would die-but Lucas was dead set against it, so it makes   
   no sense that the line refers to his death.  Yes, I KNOW that they filmed a   
   sequence with the FALCON being destroyed trying to escape the Death Star's   
   explosion, but since it was never used, the line makes no sense.  Lucas   
   should have edited it out, because it leads absolutely NOWHERE.   
      
      
   And what about Anakin's massacre of the Tusken's?  As I recall, NOBODY feels   
   their death in the Force.  Obi-Wan can feel the death screams of the   
   population of Alderaan from millions of miles away, yet neither he, Master   
   Yoda, Windu, or any OTHER Jedi feel the death of the Tuskens, nor Anakin's   
   'dark side' act of slaughtering them (which I should think would be a   
   CONSIDERABLE tremor in the Force, given Anakin's connection to it)?  Qui-Gon   
   can feel it from the netherworld of the force well enough to scream,   
   "Anakin!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!", yet Master Yoda, most powerful member of the   
   Order, can only feel, "Anakin is in great pain"?  What's his excuse?   
   "Clouded my vision, the Dark Side has"?   
      
      
   And then, in ROTS, the best advise he can give an Anakin that's worried sick   
   about premonitions of the death of someone "close to him"?  Some Zen garbage   
   about "They're going to be one with the Force, so forget about them"?   
   O.K., I REALIZE Master Yoda was undoubtedly raised in the old Jedi way,   
   taken soon after birth so he didn't have the experience of a family, but   
   what kind of nonsense is THAT???  Honestly, I LOVE the Master Yoda of EMPIRE   
   and JEDI, but the Yoda of the PREQUELS to me just sucked, and ruined his   
   character (and he was my FAVORITE, along with the Emperor in JEDI ["...And   
   NOW, Young Skywalker......you will die."  Greatest SW line EVER]).
