Sorry, one last beating of the dead prequel horse

First, an apology: I have been spending way too much time on this blog whining about the prequels lately. When I started this blog I intended that it be prequel-free. But it is so hard to sit quietly by while The Phantom Menace and whatever the other ones were called intrude upon our collective consciences again. I am going to try to bring this blog back to a pristine, prequel-free state.

But before I do, one last beating on this dead horse...
