[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Red Admiral: [QB] I haven't really spent any time in any Star Wars forums before, even this one here at Flare. But I'd thought I drop in and say Hello. Hello... Basically I want your thoughts and ideas. I have had no contact with Wars communities before, and as such, I have no clue what's going on in the world of wars, or any idea what the current thinking is. You see, I am a big Star Wars fan - since 20 years ago, and interest has been rekindled due to the new movies. So, my first questions to you is: (and I apologise wholeheartedly for this, because for you, this is all an ancient discussion) - what do you think of the Episode I and II? What is the general verdict? Did you enjoy them, did they live up to your expectations? What do you think of Lucas's new take on the Wars history and the chronology of events, ie, the fall of the Republic, and the rise of the Empire? For me, Episode I was a let down. There seemed to be things 'missing', like it was half a film, too limited in some way. But it did knit in nicely with Episode II, which I thought, was a great improvement. What do Wars fans think of AOTC? Was the spirit of Star Wars truly, and at last, rekindled here? Secondly, I have questions on Star Wars itself. They've bound to have come up numerous times before, but like I said before, I've never been involved with the Wars web community, or read magazines, or heard any of the fans' feedback, I've been too busy with Trek... But this, if you'll indulge me, is to satisfy my own personal curiousity, and I'd be grateful if you'd endure this Wars forum newbie, and help to enlighten me, as dumb or old as these questions might be to you. 1. Is there any reasonable explanation as to why 3PO has no knowledge or recollection of the events in Eps I and II? For, when we see him in the later movies. (obviously Lucas couldn't account for this 20 odd years ago), he seems to A- have no idea that Luke Skywalker is the son of his creator, B- that he'd seen Tattooine before, that its his home planet, even though he says 'I'm not even sure of what planet we're on' in Ep IV, and C- that he has worked for Owen (sic?) before - as seen in Ep II. -could it be due to continually having his memory erased? In that case, it would also seem strange that Owen has no recollection of him when he buys him from the Jawas for the second time in Ep IV. 2. In Ep V (Empire) the apparition of Obiwan on Hoth claims that Yoda instructed him, yet in Ep I, it is established that Qui-Gon is his teacher. Is this as oversight? 3. Who is Leia's adoptive father? Obviously we know that her real father is Anakin, but in Ep IV she claims that Ben Kenobi once served her father during the war (clone war?). All I can deduce is that she seems to have been adopted into royalty, and her home planet is Alderan. 4. I've always wanted to see Alderan, will it show up in Ep III do you think? 5. In Ep IV, 3PO and R2 say that their last master was Capt. Antilles (sic?). Do you believe this fact will be remembered, and at least recognised in Ep III? I think I recall the mention of an 'Antilles, from Anderan' from Ep I. 6. Is Windu meant to be of a different race than the other Jedi Humans? It is implied that he was Dooku's master, yet the age difference is obvious. Could it be because the 'grandmasters' have so much strength and knowledge of the force that that they could prolong their life? In that case, Obiwan is not as powerful as we're led to believe. He is quite ancient in Ep IV, which I can see only being set 10 to 20 years after Ep III. But also, as how I see it, the grandmasters disappear, or dematerialse at death, like Yoda. This happened to Obiwan also, that's why I thought he was a grandmaster. Qui-Gon, didn't, nor did Anakin (Vader), which is strange. I think that's about all the questions I recalling having for now. Thank you for your time. [/QB][/QUOTE]
