I guess it's possible that they spent nineteen years working out the quirks of the Death Star, maybe going through a few prototypes, before finally making the "real" one--explains how they're later able to reconstruct it within three or four years after Star Wars, if nothing else. And seriously, I completely agree that Sith is A) far better than the other two prequels, B) a return to the genuinely powerful section of Lucas' mythology and C) actually moving in places. But for me, it's too little and far too late. The bloom is off the cybernetic armour.;) Finally, my Mom and I were talking about it this evening, and it suddenly occurs to me: How could Obi-Wan have not known within hours of walking away from Anakin's charred body that it'd been a huge mistake? He'd have sensed him still being alive through the Force, wouldn't he? Ie: "Hmmm, how odd, Master Yoda...I keep having this vague sensation of all the skin on my body having been crisped like Peking duck. WhoEVER does that remind me of? Hmmm, I just don't know, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. Oh, and I also keep thinking that I can't feel my legs."
