Ahh, I gotcha. I think you mean the AT-RT...so pretty close to AT-PT actually. Lol...
Well sometimes you have to know when to hold them and when to fold them.

Don't hate me, but I don't like the light colored robes. Like Gandalf the White or something.
I mean otherwise, I'm all kinds of giddy, but me likes the darker ones.

Agree to disagree, but I couldn't possibly disagree with your disagrements any more than I do.
1.Dale Earnhardt was a NASCAR driver, not a pilot. (That's all I got...like I said, even I think my explanation for that one is reaching)
2. I don't know how you can't see friendship in the movies, but even so, if you don't take into account their relationship between films (be they untold stories or TCW) then you're not taking into account 99.99% of their relationship (pre-turn to the dark side, that is). And even MOST (notice I didn't say all) of their interaction in the movies (which is actually relatively little) is fairly...friendly, for lack of a better word. Most of his "whining" is done behind Obi-Wan's back (which itself, I realize, is not what a true friend should do, but Obi-Wan wouldn't have known he was doing it.)
3. When, pray tell, would Anakin have given Obi-Wan his lightsaber to give to his son with heartfelt affection? If you're turning to the dark side, you're not going to stop and say "hey, wouldn't it be nice to give my future son my lightsaber? Here, Obi-Wan, I want the son I have no idea about to have this lightsaber. Give it to him when he's ready, eh? Okay, I'm going to kill you now."
4. It's called "the Force." In the words of Yoda, "Through the Force, things you will see...The future, the past [Leia's birth], old friends long gone [Padmé]." Obviously I'm not suggesting an ordinary newborn will remember the mother that died soon after birth.
Look, I'm never going to change your or anyone else's mind about the quality (or lack thereof) of the prequels - I wouldn't waste my time on such a lostcause - and I most certainly do not want to strike up another debate about them in a sequel-dedicated thread. So those will be my last words on the subject. Thank you for indulging me, anyway.

Too bad Luke wasn't force-sensitive like Leia! He wouldn't have had to ask at all! 
I don't know how that saber handoff would have come about. I think that was one of the very interesting challenges of the prequel puzzle before they were made. I agree that there's not a sensible place to insert that moment into the existing prequels, but then I'd toss them wholesale. Like I said, interesting challenge for sure. That's what great writers can pull off though! Looking at the other contradictions, it seems pretty safe to assume they didn't even explore it.
Or maybe they just didn't want to throw off Anakin's delicately balanced turn to the dark side once they had it just perfect... :lol
I appreciate you taking the time to write out how it works for you. I know you're not alone in reconciling those seeming contradictions in that way. Honestly, I'm jealous - you'll always have three more star wars movies than I will! The last time I saw any of those was when the last was in the theater and I can't bring myself to put myself through that again.

According to the "leaked" pics of the action figures being released on Sept 4, there are some interesting toys in that line up which would suggest some plot spoilers.

Why? It's not like it's something new, I mean, how many times have the OT figures been re-released over the years as Hasbro creates a new line of Star Wars toys? I'll give you a hint: every single time.
$$$$$$$$$$$
But why only those 2? I still think its worked into the plot

There are ROTJ and ESB Luke's as well as Fett. Those cards don't say TFA on them. They're just re releasing figures.
