THINGS TO DO IN COLUMBUS, OHIO WHEN YOU'RE MOPING THE FLOOR
Is the Star Wars series better if it's only composed of part four, part five and part six. Is the Star Wars series better because part one, part two or part three were finally at long last completed. Some people insisted that The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith were shameless attempts to cash in on the popularity of the vastly better A New Begining, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. However, the tragedy of Darth Vader's serial killing mass murder of Jedi warriors and innocent planets are made even more tragic. The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars gave you got to see what the Jedi warriors and the political structure was like before it was forever ruined by Darth Vader. By allowing us to see the victims of Darth Vader's unprovoked rage as innocent blameless people rather than faceless clay pigeons, there is a deeper emotional connection to the viewer. I'm not trying to ruin anybody's life by voiceing these opinions. I simply believe that The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith have been successful in preventing undeserved hero worship of Darth Vader.
