Wait, are lightsabers flat, like a real saber? (1:31)
I never noticed that before. I thought they were round, like the toys.

I always thought the severed arm thing was done wrong. It's been hacked through and you see blood on the floor. I'm not an expert but I would assume that a laser would cauterize flesh instantly, therefore, no blood.

So... if Star Wars is all about action, adventure, chivalry, pirate movies and swashbuckling, WTF is up with the prequels?

Lucas forgot about all that and thought, "You know what this series needs is some galactic C-Span, whiny teenagers, overly contrived plots, and cutesey CGI comic-relief characters. Oh and don't forget a double-dose of nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (because Luke didn't sell it enough in Empire)."
