Just finished listening to this video at work and I have to say, IT MADE THE WHOLE TRILOGY BETTER! It explained so much and pointed out so many little clues. I want to watch all three again with the knowledge it shares. It doesn't make the writing better or anything but it shows that Palpatine wasn't just pulled out of JJ's ass. If only the writers had done a better job of following the path and developing characters...
