edit: Actually, I wonder if that could be done for many of my favorite films.

"And the Evil that was vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent and Terror shall consume they that dwell upon the Earth. The skies will rain fire. The seas shall become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked! And all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!" - Mephisto
Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.

the Gonk's pain and Mr. Bill "Oh Noooo" kind of line was funny. Not in the "Ewoks are funny" kind of way, but in the beginnings of a slippery slope kind of funny; SW films are headed downward at a dramatic rate! NOOOOO!

The Space Worm goes back to Joseph Campbell and myth even the bib;e when Jonah was in the whale's beast, not to mention literature with Moby Dick. Clever use of the unknown as we're focused on the Empire Vs Han and co, and they're enveloped in this thing, another larger element in the SW Universe. And like the Jonah/Whale tale, the heroes cannot escape their destiny, and are compelled to follow the course of events that leads Han to get frozen et al.
I'm surprised no mythic large element like this was used in the PT, maybe even the same Space Worm in a different context. Looks like GL has contempt for the OT the more I consider the PT's directionlessness.
The pain point is a good one thought because C-3P0 has the ability to shut himself off in ANH to conserve power and he doesn't appear to be in agony in losing an arm on Tattooine or being dismembered in ESB, and yet the Gonk droid and the 2-1B wannabe who get tortured display pain like humanoids. Lucas said in a Bill Moyers interview when ROTS came out that when he makes a rule, like having sound in space, he has to stick to it with the other parts of the story. Too bad he didn't follow his own observations/rules.
And as for nit picking the films instead of getting a lombotomy and supposedly enjoying them, why not enjoy the insights offered here instead of critiquing them? I know I do.
