There's too much missing. Somehow there are 20 years missing, and I do really want to see what happens during those. I mean, somehow Chewie and Han Solo meet up and stuff.

And isn't it odd, that they have the Death Star half built by the end and are still building 20 years later. And then the thing gets blasted apart and they have a new one within months (well almost)? That struck me a bit odd.

Also, why did they delete C3PO's memory in the end. And "because in EP IV he doesn't remember Obi Wan" doesn't count. And I daresay that R2D2 knows a lot more about the happenings than C3PO.

And why the heck did JarJar have to be in that movie? Why?

As for the lightsaber-battles. They were almost too fast. I only got the part where Obi Wan slices Anakin apart by accident. Also I felt that there were too many lightsabers too near to the camera, as in they took up too much of the picture.

And why did the Jedi die that easily?

But all in all, a good movie. It deserves the name Star Wars. I wouldn't say it was outstanding, but I felt entertained.

1) There's always time missing between these movies, a few years go by between each episode.

2) The first Death Star was completed by Episode VI. The next one was started a few years later.

3) The story doesn't take place entirely on the screen. All forms of media ranging from video games (Shadows of the Empire) to comics to novels bridge the gaps between the films. You just need to dig around for the information you want.

4) The droid's memory had to be erased because they had knowledge of the Skywalker twins and their whereabouts. If the empire got a hold of either 3PO or R2 they could extract the information. It was done for the saftey of Luke and Leia.

5) The Jedi were caught off guard and were overwhelmed by the clone troopers, Anakin, and Palpatine. Also keep in mind that both Palpatine and Anakin are powerful opponents.

6) I dunno why Jar Jar was in there. I was kind of hoping they'd burn him in the lava, too.
