I must not be enough of a Star Wars guy, I don't know what anyone's talking about here. Was it the prequel trilogy that introduced the inconsistencies (I still haven't gotten around to episodes 2 or 3 yet), or were there things in the orignal trilogy that I managed to completely overlook?

Sounds like Stargate Universe: A bunch of people trapped on a ancient spaceship of exploration...but to make that concept "interesting" the writers had to make every damn character on the show a certifiable drama queen. Unsurprisingly, dead after only two seasons - a record low for Stargate. Really looking forward to the movie sequels though (as well as the new SG-1/Atlantis movies that, I *think*, are still in the works).
