[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] [QUOTE]30 years of expanded universe? Uh, gotta disagree with you on that.[/QUOTE]I think he was referring to the time span that the EU covers rather than how long writers have been contributing to the EU. [QUOTE]Has anyone noticed the similarities in the plots between the prequels and the original trilogies?...It just seems to me that plot for the prequels seems a little recycled.[/QUOTE]I believe that this resemblence is very much deliberate, with the life of Luke Skywalker being a mirror image of the life of Anakin Skywalker except for a very crucial difference: Luke didn't turn to the Dark Side. Even the Episode titles can be seen to be related. "The Phantom Menace"/"A New Hope" The names are nearly opposites. In one, there is a vague fear that the (former) utopia of the Republic is being threatened by some mysterious force, i.e., the reemergence of the Sith and their conspiracies. In the other there is hope now that the power of the evil Empire is being challenged by a different force, i.e., the Rebellion and the reemergence of the Jedi. "Attack of the Clones"/"The Empire Strikes Back" The names are almost synonymous, although the parties involved (the Republic and the Empire) are supposed to be idealogically opposed. In one, the Republic masses its armies and strikes against the forces that threaten it. In the other, the Empire masses its armies and strikes against the forces that threaten it. "Revenge the Sith"/"Return of the Jedi" Once again, the names are opposites. In one, the Sith reemerge and end up victorious after having been forced into hiding for years by the Jedi. In the other, the Jedi reemerge and win the day after having been forced into hiding by the Sith. [/QB][/QUOTE]
