Ah yes, the Duel Of The Fates...

Jar Jar is persona non grata around here except with my grandson, and me. There is much about Episode 1 that does work (Maul and Qui Gon) and much that does not work, starting with the character of Anakin being conceived of as that young. Had he been say 13 or 14, with puberty as the point beyond which the Jedi will not accept new students, the character's arc would have made more sense and the casting possibilities would have been much wider.

Then too, I still think Lucas closed off some interesting plot lines by making Darth Vader the father of Luke and Liea. No doubt Lucas thought he was being sophisticated in a Shakespeare / Hamlet sort of way, but Lucas missed the point. To not kill one's own father is easy (even Himmler's daughter loved her father) but to not kill the man who murdered your father, tortured your friends and killed millions, when you have every right to do so, because it is not the Jedi Way -- and by this very example turn Vader away from the Dark Side -- how much stronger the character of Luke would have been.

However... :oops:

It is Lucas' story to tell.

And it is so easy to get caught up in it. :| Which is exactly what The People Vs. George Lucas is all about.

Now I will climb down from the box and stop waxing over long. :roll:

:wink:
