That was a long but great article. Thanks for posting it. It really helped me understand Episode 1 & 2 a lot better. The problem with Star Wars of course, is that people try to nitpick Lucas's movies in order to discovery some universal truths as if he were some great visionary or philosopher.
The real truth is that he's just a regular human being with a talent for making entertaining movies. It's pretty pointless to spend lots of time analyzing Lucas's movies for philosophical tidbits or whatnot. There are much better storytellers and philosophers in the history of mankind for that kind of thing. Lucas is a great filmmaker, nothing more.

You don't like xbox, we get it, but why keep acting like you are unbiased? the fact that you bought a system you don't like much just to play one game and still knock the system because it doesn't have enough of what you want to play kinda makes your opinion less important than others who actually gave it a chance.

That was another Josh here. Either Joshic, or the Josh with the numbers after his name.
My opinion is just as warranted as any others. Don't dismiss just because you love the system. I qualified the statement with saying it has the worst game library "for my tastes." I didn't say the library sucked or anything like that. It's lame how the X-box fans here get so offended everytime anyone does anything other than praise the X-box.
I've gotten labeled as a Nintendo fanboy, but I could care less if someone says the Gamecubes game library doesn't appeal to them. That's just their opinion and totally valid. The only time I get annoyed is when people simply say it sucks, is just for kids, has no good games, or other BS like that. If someone's taken the time to assess the games/system, and can articulate their opinion to say that it just isn't their cup of tea that's fine and dandy. I mean who really gives a crap whether someone likes the same games or systems that you do? Much less random people on the internet.

s}{ammer was thinking of joshd2012 - the guy who posted impressions about Xbox after having played a multi-platform sports game on Xbox for several hours.
