I also like how in the original trilogy they talk about how dangerous and seductive the dark side is, and how it's implied after Luke cuts off Vader's hand (an evil half-robot genocidal maniac who tortures his friends and blows up planets without a second thought) that if Luke takes another step he's doomed. Meanwhile in the prequels, Annie SLAUGHTERS AN ENTIRE TRIBE OF SAND PEOPLE (women and children, too!) and he's just fine. Later he chops the head off of Darth Velociraptor with barely a moment's reflection in a remake of the throne room scene and he's STILL supposedly a good guy. And it's not until the emperor says, "dude, turn to the dark side, I'll give you a cool voice distorter like mine!" and Annie replies, "Okey doke!" only THEN does he turn to the dark side!
