Star wars 2 trailer - Tonight on fox

[Faceman]

I thought the trailer looked good visually and it looks like the battle scene is huge. Now for the interesting thought of the day. In his effort to make the prologue look "cool" and "new" is Lucas making the original trilogy look stupid by comparison?

Example: In ep. 1 we see Darth Maul use a 2 sided
light-saber, in the trailer for ep. 2 we see anakin use 2 light-sabers to fight his battle. But when we look at the original 3, all the participants use only 1 "boring", compared to ep. 1 and 2, light-saber. Now when you first saw star wars light-sabers were the coolest thing ever, but now they just look ho-hum. I hate to be a stickler for details but this bothers me. So what happened in between the prologue and the trilogy? Did the main manufacturer of light-sabers go out of business? Was there a horrible light-saber accident that forced the regulation of the business and force everyone to make their own? Did someone lose the "double-sided" light-saber blueprints and now they can't be recreated? Inquiring minds want to know! But seriously does this idea bother anybody else or am I alone here?
