Your degree at work...

Wow. Thank you so much for this. Since I have never been exposed at all to the expanded universe, I appreciate that you kept this self-contained to the movies themselves.

I think you might also have helped highlight some of the reasons I like the prequels more than the "original" movies; and also why I actually am not a fan of the franchise in general. Namely, that I never understood why people thought the Jedi were so awesome. I was never able to articulate my own dissatisfaction with them (though to be fair, I never tried very hard, having seen each movie only once -- and once was more than enough for me).

But you've also given me a new appreciation for what I always perceived as the saccharine-ness of Luke. I don't think I ever put it in contrast, which [as I think you rightly point out] makes him not saccharine, but virtuous.

On a side note: I liked Jar Jar Binks. So there.
