    Which makes even more strange the consensus that it wasn't a dark movie.

    A dozen, whiney "George Lucas raped my Childhood!" fanboyz does hardly a "consensus" make...

    I even forgot about the whole resistance movement. Who started the rebellion? Who was the dynamic leader who rallied everyone to the his side in battling the empire on a united front?

    From the deleted scenes in RotS, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa were the chief architects of what became the Rebellion.

    Haha, you are joking?

    I never joke when I smack on a GLRMC hater who has no clue what he's talking about :P

    If not ... the training of Obiwan

    What about his training? Obi-wan was trained by Yoda as a Youngling, then was taken as a Padawan by Qui-gon.

    jesus I mean Obiwon had massive adventures with them and then he doesnt say a thing later

    So he didn't say anything. Big fucking deal! In all of the prequels he had not one line of dialog with C-3PO. He did know R2 - the same R2 who tricked Luke into removing his restraining bolt so he could personally deliver a message to Kenobi. Even Luke mentions that he's "never seen such loyalty in a droid before".

    Not only that, but Darth Vader doesnt recognize the droids?

    Name one scene that Vader and R2 shared together....

    ...I didn't think so.

    And as far as 3P0, the *single* time he was in a scene with Vader was when he was strapped to Chewbacca's back in the Carbon Freezing chamber. And as you said, 3P0 units are produced en masse on an assembly line. Why would Vader recognize him? He had far more pressing things on his mind than a toy he built as a child - from a life he's intentionally forgotton.

    Is that all you got?

    While I completely agree with the second part of your post... I must disagree with the first part. Enterprise as a whole ruined Star Trek.

    Before Enterprise, you had the lackluster 'Voyager', and the steaming piles-of-shit 'Generations', 'Insurrection', and 'Nemesis'. Enterprise didn't ruin the series. It was just the final nail in a very large coffin.

    Each episode of the new starwars movies was supposed to be 'darker' then the last

    Apparently you missed the one where the Jedi were massacred, the Rebublic crumbled into a facist Empire, and Anakin decapitated an unarmed Sith, murdered a temple full of children and tried to kill his pregnant wife before having three of his limbs sliced off - falling next to a river of lava where he is engulfed in flame and burned to a cinder. Even when he was reconstructed as Vader, he was awake, concious, and un-anesthetized.

    That's not dark enough for you? Fuck man, you're *sick*!

    It seems like a silly timeframe for a star wars show. Jedis when theyre hiding, luke when he doesn't know anything about the force, dark side ruling without any serious opposition.. The way they described it makes it sound like there won't even be any light sabers. Silly timeframe? The 20 years between RotS & ANH are arguably the *darkest* period in the whole saga. There are plenty of interesting plot threads that can be covered:
    1. The subjugation & enslavement of resistant worlds by the Empire
    2. Vader "hunting down and destroying" any Jedi who survived Order 66
    3. Bail Organa & Mon Mothma stirring the seeds of rebellion.
    4. Obi-wan's early relationship with Luke and Uncle Owen. We know from ANH that there is history between these characters.
    5. Palpatine consolidating his power away from the Imperial Senate to his hand-picked regional governors.

    IANAL, but if Heller were to give compelling testimony to a Grand Jury that his firm was covering up ongoing criminal conduct - and hiding it under the guise of "Attorney/Client privilige", that should be enough for a court order to unseal the documents. Prosecutors can do "dumb things". If there is probable cause that Heller did "break the law" by his action, the DA has to make the call. I can see an overzealous DA's office whose political career hinges on newspaper reports showing (s)he is "tough on crime" doing something like this. It happens everywhere.

    Not true at all. If they want to "Bring the whistle blower to court", they don't need to indict him. They simply need to subpoena him to testify at a Grand Jury about Diebold's alleged shenanigans. If he were uncooperative and not willing to devulge what he knew, *then* they could indict him and dangle a plea-agreement in front of him for his testimony.
