Who cares about the Star Wars prequels?
No one? Good.
Anyway, here's an interesting Doctor Who Timeline I came across (and decided to share with you):

Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones
On to
Episode II. Should I really be linking to the Amazon page here? Does it offend
anybody? Just curious.
So the
title crawl says that thousands of systems are leaving the Republic. Why? What
do they want? What is their reason for leaving? Anyway, the Senate must vote on
the critical issue of creating an ARMY
OF THE REPUBLIC. Yeah, it’s capitalized just like that for some reason.
Nothing else in the text is emphasized in that way. In fact, none of the other
crawls in the other films does that except A New Hope (DEATH STAR) and ROTJ (GALACTIC
EMPIRE). Those are two-word names for important pieces of the story while
this is four words (including two unimportant ones). If George had simply done
a rewrite to be more consistent and not, well, weird, it could have read REPUBLIC
ARMY. Leaving it the way it is just seems bizarre and out of place.
Amidala
is on her way back to the Senate to vote on the ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. We open on another boring shot of ships
lazily drifting toward their destinations. The sky is very foggy, oddly enough.
You’d think if they can literally turn a whole planet into a giant city, they’d
also be able to control the weather. We’ve seen extremely advanced technology,
but they don’t seem to be able to do this one simple thing. How many accidents
are there on such foggy days?
