Another Unanswered Question from Revenge of the Sith

Why Didn’t the Clone Troopers Follow Bail Organa from the Jedi Temple?

Let’s Get Some Perspective Here

Lately there have been a few flare ups on the blog, on Twitter and elsewhere having to do with my love of the prequels. I was originally considering going with yet another rant about how much I honestly love them.

In Defense of Uncle Owen

We might not like that Owen was protective of Luke. But he did a damn better job than the Jedi did with Anakin.

The Real Chosen One: Other Theories and Final Conclusions

Here we are, the final chapter in the Chosen One saga.Obviously, my focus through the previous blogs was on the dilemma of the Chosen One. My three candidates are obvious: Qui-Gon, Anakin and Luke.
