Star Wars Rants

You know, I've been holding this in for awhile. I'm angry, so very angry at how the clones are depicted as so weak in all material. They were cloned from Jango Fett. A guy that's taken down beasts, Sith, other bounty hunters. And 95% of the clones suck badly.

We have the cool ones like Commander Cody or Rex. But then we have hundreds of sucky clones. First of all, why do they get killed so easily? You'd think with the Republic having money, they'd be able to get their forces some armor thicker then Bible paper.

And another thing...

"There you will meet Yoda, the Jedi instructor who taught me..." (Hoth, Episode V, rough text of what I remember him saying)

Then comes Episode I, we have Qui-gon Jinn. Not Yoda.

Some random Jedi we've never heard of named Qui-gon Jinn. I'll repeat it, Qui. Gon. Jinn. I don't know which should be retconned, information from the Original Trilogy that was replaced in the prequels for new stuff, or Prequel Trilogy stuff? I say the Prequel Trilogy should have, oh, lets say about half of the information retconned? We barely got any continuity with the Expanded Universe either in the prequels. At least some changes were made to the Original Trilogy, with Expanded Universe stuff being added in. All we get in Episodes I is a cameo of Prince Xizor from 'Shadows of the Empire' and Quinlan Vos from something Expanded Universe related I don't remember.

And while I'm on the subject of continuity...

WHERE IN THE WORLD DID BAIL ORGANA GET FRICK?! Frick is one of the rarest substances in the galaxy, and while the Empire is investigating him, do you think that they'll let him keep a holocron of bases the Rebel Alliance could use? Did they not check this little frick box in Bail Organa's house? Did he really hide it in a location that secure? I'm sure after Leia was captured they must have searched Bail Organa's house for other items and devices that could help end them.

And finally....

Jar Jar sucks. Just, wanted to clarify that.
