I thought that was pretty clear in the original tril. (actually ANH). Remember what Leia's message to Ben was: "General Kenobi, years ago you helped my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you in his struggle against the Empire. ..." If the FOTR was a direct result of the CW's then why didn't Leia say something like, "... Again he needs you in his struggle against the Empire. ..." ? Why would the Emperor have allowed one of his major enemy's offspring, Leia, to become a Senator (assuming Bail was involved in a full scale war against Pal. which is later known as the CW's)? I mean, even if he allowed Bail to live in shame, why allow his daughter to have power of any kind ( even if she's out-voted by the rest of the Senate) ? No resistence is better than useless resistence. These are just some plot holes I see in the theory that the FOTR is a direct consequence of the CW's. Paul Probus probus@cnj.digex.com
