Ah but you see, THIS EXACT POINT is where you're wrong. Lucas may have written it to be this way. THIS IS STAR WARS. Not what YOU expect it to be. THIS IS Lucas's mind here. You didn't create the Star Wars universe. He did, it's in his rights to write whatever he wants because it's his and your opinion won't matter because Star Wars is his **** and whatever he deicides has to happen will happen because he's the God of Star Wars universe. It's not technically right for you to say he screwed it up. You act as if someone created something good, and instead of letting them finish it, you're covering it up with a piece of blanket because you don't the artist to finish it cause you like it that way. That's a big selfish opinion that offends practically any artist.
