When was the last time you saw a scifi that *didn't* have bad physics. The point is with enough artificial gravity, inertial compensators, and hand waving it almost becomes believable.
I agree the dialogue wasn't that great, but George Lucas doesn't like writing scripts so it wasn't unexpected.
They're clones with practically no free will. I doubt they even have emotions. Furthermore it does take concentration to sense emotions, and even Jedi aren't immune to inattentional blindness.
I agree the Death Star was a major discontinuity. I will say, however, that it a very visually stunning connection to the OT.
The Chewbacca scene was a bit random, albeit there's no evidence in the EU either way.
I never got the impression that Jedi Masters disappear when they die. Quigon and Anakin were both burned on pyres and there were plenty of bodies in Ep II. I got the impression that Kenobi and Yoda disappeared only because they were expecting to die.
You're assuming that R2 knew Luke was related to Anakin. Given how much effort they took to hide the birth of the twins I can believe that R2 never possessed this knowledge.
