Again, I'm left to wonder if people haven't seen Revenge of the Sith, where this technology existed, several decades before the new trilogy.

Well they work for Grievous, so they're probably treated more like people than they would be under a human general.

Oh I'm sure he does, that wasn't really my point. But giving them cloaks indicates that he thinks of them as more than just machines. Doesn't mean he wouldn't also mistreat them just as humans mistreat other humans.

The Disney acquisition of star wars will be justified once they declare the prequels aren't canon. It's going to happen at some point. We might have to wait for Lucas to die first though.

If they are going to uncannon them, why are they still making new things with them? Why would their inclusion be the selling point for games? No, your rebel friends are walking into a trap for this fully armed and operational cannon.

Whenever I do a Star Wars or Indiana Jones marathon, I include the prequels and Crystal Skull and not even out of some completionist tendencies, I enjoy those movies a lot. Not as much as the originals, but I still find them worthy of being included in their series. I'm one of the few people you'll find who is legit excited for another Indy movie.

Obi-wan talking about the clone wars and Anakin Skywalker in ANH confirms that the prequel movies do not exist in that story, at least not the way they were presented 20 years later.

Oh he posted right here in this thread like a week ago. He just hasn't said "Star Wars fans don't like Star Wars" in a while and it's a good point, worth repeating. Saying the prequels don't exist is, objectively, disliking at least 3/8 of the Star Wars movies which actually exist.

It's a curious logic loop whereby George Lucas's acted-on plan for the prequels is claimed to be illegitimate by appeal to the authority of George Luca's true plan for the prequels, as divined from literal readings of two Kenobi lines in A New Hope which are diegetically lies.
