Check out Brin's "What's Wrong (and Right) with 'The Phantom Menace'"
from Salo
n last year. Here's the URL:

My favourite line: "He is too old to train to be a Jedi." -- Uh, Yoda?
You say 
6 is too old, but Luke Skywalker will be a doable fixer-upper at 20?
When do yo
u recruit novices -- ripping them from the breast, like the Psi Corps in
"Babyl
on 5"? Does the Jedi Way require complete denial of normal childhood? An
odd me
ssage for a kid flick!

Which brings up a point. If not using the fighter morale rules is in

ced without the morale rules, what SHOULD fighters cost without using
morale?
