The Flying R2-D2 Scale of Sequel to Prequel Inconsistency:

Anakin's going to have to do some pretty fancy flying in Episode III to back up this quote. What I want to know is how Obi-Wan could back this up? Is he referring to Anakin's glorified go-kart race on Tatooine in The Phantom Menace or the Wacky-Doodle Yukfest when Anakin crashed the Nabooian fighter into the droid control ship? This line has very little basis in what has happened in the Prequel Trilogy so far. I thought that this line would surely be removed, but it is still there. Obi-Wan's line about Anakin still remains in the 2004 edition. 'He was the best starpilot in the galaxy.' I was half expecting to hear The Black Eyed Peas's lyrics - translated into Huttese - coming out of the mouths of some dancing, urbanite Rodians. Thankfully the Cantina scene's music hasn't been inappropriately changed as it was in Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi (I'll get to that later). Why include a familiar alien such as a Mon Calamari or a Sullustan when you can have a Rastafarian Velociraptor in its place? Replace the wolfman with a silly-looking dinosaur smoking from a bong! Lucas is so much happier with this brilliant alien that it even survived the 2004 cut of the Special Edition. However, twenty years later he had the perfect idea to fix the scene. It was a budget and time problem that Lucas always regretted. Allegedly the 'alien' was nothing more than a man in a werewolf mask who was added as filler to the scene. The wolfman in the cantina always bothered Lucas. The CGI Jabba Scale of Special Edition Stupidity: The minute-long scene makes you wonder if Lucas consulted with Barnum & Bailey prior to its addition. 'Pardon me, I've got a dinosaur to follow.'

The scenes crucial to the story are constantly being interrupted and overlapped with annoying Jawa antics, frolicking droids and dinosaurs occasionally traipsing in front of main characters, taking focus away from the dialogue and character interaction, most notably when Obi-Wan and Luke are stopped by stormtroopers. The entire Mos Eisley outdoor environment is littered with slapstick humor, distracting visuals and unnecessary aliens. The approach on Mos Eisley is exactly the scene I would have made if I'd had the technology and budget to film such a thing when I was 12 years old.
