Everyone that is commenting on plot holes or unbelievable events READ THIS

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2005)

All right the final installment for the Prequel trilogy has been released and with much fan fare and excitement many of us have gone. Now a week later as I log on and read reviews from people I see more and more of people going on and complaing about plot holes (there are some for sure) and unbelievable events or character inconsistencies (there are some of those also) but, there aren't nearly as many as people are thinking. Why? The fact of the matter is after the Original trilogy came out so many years ago a large following forced what later became commonly known as the Star Wars: Extended Universe. This include novels, some games, comic books and recently a animated TV show. While many will argue that the movies are the only true source that is infallible in the star wars. Recently Lucas has been directly involved with many of the EU universe novels and information. In fact the entire clone wars which it seems everyone seems to forgot has happened has changed things vastly since the last movie (AOTC). For example I have seen complaints of things like Anakin beating Dooku so easily, well yes the last thing the movies show since the last time we see them is the loss to Dooku, but the EU explains that from EP2 to EP3 there are 3-4 years of bloody war and victories including Anakin killing off Dooku's own Sith apprentice. Of course no one knows this because they only watched the movies. This is why the Star Wars universe is so amazing the movies are only the base of a huge universe of stories and information. So before anyone jumps on makes a review complaining why this plot hole is bad and so on, go read some EU and maybe read the Character Bios of all the major characters including their EU info at star wars.com (yes even the official site gives complete credit to the EU) So for those that though there were some major missteps go do a little research and enjoy the fact the movies are only the begging of a huge universe that Lucas only began.
