Did anyone (besides me) notice...

[Rosie Gamgee]

Okay, I don't know if this has been brought up before, if so, my sincere apologies. But, has any else noticed the similarities between Return of the Jedi and Episode One?

1. Jar Jar Binks and... Wicket, I think was his name (the little Ewok). They both are introduced in the woods, they both take the person they met up with to their city. They both swing sling-shot type weapons over thier shoulders and goof up while trying to let it go. There's more to this, but I haven't watched these movies in a while, so...
2. The end of the pod-race and the speeder chase is the same- Luke/Anakin get their machines stuck on Sebulba/Unidentified Storm Trooper's, then pull away at the last minute.
3. During what I take to be the '3rd act' of the films, there is in both, (A) a lightsaber duel between a good guy and a bad guy, (B) a battle involving seemingly unbeatable odds going on down-planet, and (C) a space-battle above the planet.
4. When Anakin destroys the space station (or whatever it was) he flies out with the flames roaring up to the back of his fighter, and pops out of danger with this whoop- all of those things being strangely familiar (although I definately like Lando doing it better).
5. Both Palpatine and Darth Maul fall down a huge tunnel when meeting their doom (what is with that anyways? Why can't we just kill them instead of tossing them down a hole?)

There's a few more, but I can't think of them right now. Whatchall think?
