Yeah, I generally get the idea that the Jedi of the Pre-Empire period are perhaps just a little bit too set in their ways and comfortable in the way things are, which is probably why it is so easy for Palpatine to just set himself up under their very noses, but it is just the irony of one character declaring that they're peace keepers, not soldiers, only to promptly wade into battles where they someone's head off. I think that is part of the reason I prefer the OT, personally - if I'm being entirely honest, I know for a fact that the Prequel movies are probably dealing with slightly more complex themes and ideas than the more adventure-based Original Trilogy, but it's just the execution.

I always find it ironic that Empire is the strongest film of the six and it has the very least input from Lucas, somehow. I just.. Well, someone put it to me that the Prequels are Lucas trying to make what *he* thinks Star Wars films are, and he's managing to be completely ignorant of why he made the first movies to begin with. ROTS manages to recapture some of that feel, but it's not there in enough abundance for me to really enjoy it enough.
