OK, so everyone says the original trilogy, episodes 4-6, are completely flawless. Well, I have one thing to say to that...THEY'RE NOT! First of all, why doesn't Ben Kenobi recognize C3PO and R2D2 in Episode 4 when he buys the droids from the Jawas? Shouldn't he be overjoyed that he gets Anakin's droids back? And furthermore.....SABER TECHNIQUES. I've heard that in first two movies, episode 4 and 5, George Lucas wanted a more Kendo style saber fight(a lot of straight forward Japanese-style of sword fighting). Mark Hammil pushed for a more aggressive style to bring up the excitement. This worked apparently, as Return of the Jedi had both Saber wielders using one hand. Unfortunately, there's one inconsistency. If Darth Vader is supposed to be the strongest force-user of his time, why does he use Shii-Cho(Form 1) instead of Ataru(Form 4)? Ataru would give Vader the ability to move faster by channeling the force for speed and strength. But Luke has an excuse, he never had a teacher long enough to teach him more than the first two forms.
Well, there's my nerd rant for the day, enjoy! : D
