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? (Or something 
else entirely?)

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).
