Some quick thoughts on the movie:
- The Star Wars movie with just one light saber in the whole movie, and more akin to the Westerns and War movies of the yesteryears as many reviewers have noted
- This poses some interesting questions for the Star Wars Machete order, now that we have a storyline that comes in between Episodes III & IV
- It also lays to rest the “big” design flaw in the Death Star that allowed its eventual destruction
- It seems we’re also seeing the beginning of a new era where dead actors will be resurrected for key roles in prequels/sequels
- The entire climax of the movie gives a new physical dimension to data search and security
- This story also pretty much disregards the Jedi Knight video game series’ plot which started off with the Dark Forces game and involved Kyle Katarn stealing the Death Star plans
