Acording to the jedi in episode 1 the Sith have been extinct for over 1000 yrs. If this is so who had the jedi been fighting against for the past 1000 yrs? Death stick sellers? Purse snatchers?

If this is so NONE of the jedi on the jedi council has NEVER enocuntered or fought against a sith lord or a dark side of the force weilder. This is ridicules. I guess all their saber fights were done with remotes for the past 1000 yrs.

Did George Lucas put any thought at all into these prequel films as he was writing them? The entire plot and story of the three prequels are so pathetic. Anyone with some common sense can rip them apart piece byn piece about things that makes no sense.

I think actual problem arises when the Jedis are defined as something juxtaposed to the "Sith Lords", a dualistic conception which was only brought about, as far as I can tell, in The Phantom Menace. Originally, in Episode IV, Darth Vader was simply the "Lord of Sith", which apparently was some kind of a feudal title or similar. It did not denote a special order of evil Jedis serving the dark side of the force.
That being said, I agree that given the lack of enemies/conflicts (a function which among others the "Clone Wars", whatever that was originally intended to be, could have fulfilled) the notion of these Sith Lords not having been around for a 1000 years is idiotic. In its stupidity I find it on par with the idea that only two of them show up at any given time. Why would a whole order of Jedis be so terrified by the competion from two guys?
