The Shortcomings of Star Wars I-III, Part 2
In the last post, I was so busy talking about what I liked from Episodes I-III that I didn’t even have time to talk about their shortcomings. Today, I’m making time. Join me as I look at some common sentiments as well as (maybe) some unique ones. As always, feel free to leave questions, comments, or bitter diatribes!
PS: Next time, I think I’ll post something that isn’t about Lucas or Star Wars, just to give you non-geeks a break. You’re welcome. 🙂

That left a manageable list of “pros” for today and a manageable list of “cons” for next time. Curious? Read on! I’d love to hear your thoughts as well, so feel free to comment!
