Star Wars novels tend to be a bit hit and miss.Um, where did you get this from? It's never mentioned in the movies that cybernetics affects the ability to use the Force. I mean, it's a cool theory and all, but I'm not aware of anything to actually support it.Sure, I'll buy that. Well, the part about the war, anyway.Hmm. I'm torn on this one. If I were the last of the Jedi (bar one), and charged with guarding the last hope of the galaxy for freedom (bar one), knowing that there's a real chance that the enemy could at any time tumble to the great secret and send a death squad to end matters, I might be inclined to keep my skills as sharp as humanly possible. I rather doubt Obi-wan was idle all those years (although with no-one to practice against there would, of course, have been some measure of atrophy). I accept what you say about fighting for time, though.I'm not convinced. I get what you're saying, and it makes sense. However...I'm not sure there's actually anything that could be said to change my mind on this point. The fact is that the styles don't mesh, since the Jedi style of the prequels didn't exist at the time the OT were filmed. I expect that, if George were doing the OT now, he would film the duels differently.Oh, I have the soundtracks. But the dialogue in the films is so bad (especially for much of AotC) that I think I might prefer to switch it off, and watch the film with only the John Williams score going. However, since none of the soundtracks quite matches the images on the screen, they don't quite plug the gap.</blockquote>
