Thank you so much for linking the Phantom Menace reviews. That guys proves that Lucas is an idiot more than anything else I've seen.
That said, I also loved that review, hilarious.

I know. It's no fair that Luke got a quiet, peaceful childhood, spending all his time tinkering with his Land Speeder, shooting swamp rats, and daydreaming about adventuring through the Galaxy, while his sister had to grow up in a stifling, controlling, political environment where her every word, action, and appearance were constantly monitored giving her very little freedom or privacy. Obviously, Obi-wan went easier…
Because Vader managed to tell Luke was his son at like 300 meters distance through steel walls and shit, but didn't catch on when he was stood next to his daughter . . . some father! If Luke had taken on the place of Bail Organa's kid, the rebellion would have been found out very, very fast. I'm sure Bail Organa ran into Vader many times while he was under Empire suspicion, however I believe it's very had to explain…

How is this HN material? I am curious...
HN == nerds
1) Not all people on HN are American, not all on HN describe themselves as "nerds". In some parts of the world where intellectualism is more welcome, intellectuals are looked upon with admiration, rather than contempt (even by pretty girls).
2) Since I love all things Math, Physics and CS, I guess I, too, am a "nerd". However, I must say that I always found Star Wars nauseatingly distasteful and unimaginative. Nothing more than a girlfriend-replacement to some of you socially awkward unfortunates who had a bad time in American high schools and, consequently, grew up emotionally retarded.
Cheers y'all!

It isn't necessarily a difference between father-son and father-daughter; more likely it's because Luke was using the Force unconsciously in his flying and shooting even before Obi-wan starting training him, while Leia never showed any signs of Force use during any of the movies.

I thought that was going to be a link to the Star Wars Holiday Special ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCNGjKnTzaQ ) as a testament against George Lucas. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.
(for the uninformed: they're the MST3K guys' current project)
This actually makes me rethink George Lucas as being brilliant rather than stupid. It's also re-written the entire Star Wars saga in my mind for the remainder of my life.

Personal favorite: when he asks people to describe the characters. The differences are shocking, and it showed the fail far more than any other, IMO.
