I agree 100% with rules 2-4. However, I get why so much of episodes 2 and 3 took place in the Senate and in the capital. It's backstory. We are being shown why the rebels fled to the frontier in the first place, and how it is that Palpatine becomes the Emperor. There's no way to take over a government from the frontier. So on that point I give Lucas a free pass. As for the gay little cute characters, we all better get used to it. There's no way Disney makes SW less cute than Lucasfilms. They already have a Star Wars-Mickey Mouse store in Disney World (I swear to god I was there for a conference--no other reason!). It's downhill from here.
