Star Wars thing that alway struck me as weird - Palpatine is the leader of the unbeatable Galactic Empire, which oppresses all and has everybody under it's thumb - he's also only been fully in charge for what, about 25 years by the time of Return of the Jedi? Even given that he was consolidating power for about 12 years or so prior to that, doesn't that seem a little weird? Anybody ever get the impression that Lucas' original intention was to have had the Emperor have been in charge a lot longer, but in between the last real movies and the first prequel he decided that Vader had to fall from grace in conjunction with the Emperor's rise?

What are you talking about? George Lucas had the entire story planned out from the beginning! He said so himself!

Heh... whether he did or didn't, I think that the timeline loses something this way. Why does EVERYONE have to have met and interacted a few years previously - I'm surprised Greedo wasn't on some ads for Horny Gungan Weed, claiming that it stopped you shooting first.

Do they have books in the Star Wars universe from the period of the prequels and onwards? I don't even recall seeing anything that resembles paper in any of those films. Not in the movies, but they do exist in the universe. They are rare, though, since technology made them obsolete.

I just thank my lucky goddamn stars that they didn't have a child Han Solo running around.
