Although I very much enjoyed the technical aspects of the prequel trology, from an emotional standpoint I was very much disapponted that my childhood fantasy world was not represented on screen.  Consequently, I started to jot down notes on how the first three episodes in the Star Wars saga could relieve my unfulfilled expectations.  Here in this space, I will test the patience of Lucasfilm Inc. by challenging the canon relayed in the prequel trilogy.  As Lucasfilm goes into production of the Clone Wars animated series, I will concurrently be deconstructing the background story of Anakin Skywalker and the events that lead to his conversion to the dark side of the Force.  </description><language>en-us</language><item><title>What of the boy?</title><link>http://blogs.starwars.com/Illini-Jedi/19</link><author>Illini Jedi</author><description>To his family on [Naboo] take him.</description><category>Prequel Trilogy</category><pubDate>Jul 12, 2007 06:03 PM</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">starwars.com-blog-5167-19</guid></item><item><title>Back to the Grind</title><link>http://blogs.starwars.com/Illini-Jedi/18</link><author>Illini Jedi</author><description>Anakin rolling the boulder up the hill.  </description><category>Prequel Trilogy</category><pubDate>Jun 13, 2007 11:55 AM</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">starwars.com-blog-5167-18</guid></item><item><title>Finally . . .
