“Lucas missed the opportunity to tell a real story of a descent into evil. He could have created a Jedi order where the dark side was always present, always being played with by disobedient apprentices. The way normal teens are. Anakin could have had his own grand vision of how to make the galaxy better, not the muddled brief lines he says. Lucas could have studied better real men who became evil, or #2 evils, and their paths to it.

Instead he picks the plot that he does it for love. Problem is, due to poor acting and directing and dialogue, it’s a love the audience doesn’t believe in. Ditto for Padme dying of a broken heart, again it’s a broken heart we don’t believe in. Instead should should have died from complications from a crushed trachea. (I guess she couldn’t name the kids if she were on a respirator.)”

You can release that white-knuckled grip you have on the edge of your desk.” I tried to relax. “What do you want to talk about?” I said. “The Century War,” said the Time Traveler. I blinked and tried to remember some history. “You mean the Hundred Year War? Fifteenth Century? Fourteenth? Sometime around there. Between . . . France and England? Henry V? Kenneth Branagh? Or was it . . .” “I mean the Century War with Islam,” interrupted the Time Traveler. “Your future. Everyone’s.” He was no longer smiling. Without asking, or offering to pour me any, he
