Pretty much connects to the original trilogy.

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2005)

Episode III does a pretty good job connecting to Episode IV. There are, however, a couple of loose ends that it did not explain. First, in Empire Strikes Back, Luke says that there is something familiar about Dagobah (Yoda's home-in-exile) shortly after landing there. But he has never been to Dagobah before. Secondly, in Return of the Jedi, Leia claims to remember her "real" mother -- that she was very "beautiful, but sad". How could this have been possible when Padme died right after giving birth to the twins, unless Leia had mistaken her adoptive mother (on Alderaan) for her real mother. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie.
