Just a few more years, and we'll all know a little more about Yoda's early days on Dagobah

For those of you (my husband included) who would like to know a bit more about what happened between baby Luke's arrival on Tatooine at the end of Episode III and Leia's capture that opens Episode IV, it looks like the "episode 3 1/2" live-action TV series will air in 2007.

If I may, I'd like to request that George Lucas address a few key issues, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Did Bail Organa's wife die when Leia was young? Or is Leia's admission that she remembers her sad and beautiful mother just a gaping plot hole?
   
   
2. How did Leia know Obi-Wan? Was he just a legend to her, one she learned about through stories that Bail Organa told?
   
   
3. When Obi-Wan last saw Anakin, Anakin was smoldering and perishing on Mustafar. I'd like to know if Obi-Wan walked away from his smoking torso assuming he would die? I really hope so; otherwise, that would make Obi-Wan kind of a pussy and I won't have that. I need my Obi-Wan to be resolute.
   
   
4. When and how did Vader learn that his child/children survived? If he truly didn't know this until he searched his feelings in Episode V, then I must say that The Force is kind of anemic and worthless.
   
   
5. Why did the technology not advance considerably in the intervening 19 years? At the end of Episode III, they're building the Death Star and flying around in the Tantive IV. Are we to believe that in nearly two decades, they didn't come up with any new technologies? Or, is Bail Organa just really good with Rebel blockade runner repair, easily extending the lives of his starships where others might just buy new ones?
   
   Perhaps there is a point to be made here about a totalitarian regime's stifling of technology and advancement. That oppression kills innovation and creativity. That the days of the Galactic Senate were a golden age that ended with the start of the Empire. Or, perhaps it is just a hole that losers like me are forced to explain with convoluted theories about human ingenuity and the machine of the state.
   
   
6. What's it really like on Alderaan? I mean, we'll never know otherwise, apart from that one brief scene at the end of Episode III.
   
   
7. How is it that Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru aged so horribly in 19 years? Is it really that harsh on Tatooine? The life of a moisture farmer is brutal and wicked, Rosasharn.

If nothing else, I hope we get to meet Tosche and see his stunning array of power converters.
