Hmmmm, from what I recall, Lucas never said missiles would be obsolete in Ep 3 but said something about the missile TECHNOLOGY that we see in Ep2 will be obsolete by Ep3

I see no reason for them to become obsolete just because more advanced versions are aviable, it's the price/performance ratio that matters, also simplicity is a pro in itself.

But why do such a moronic move when it's clearly not needed?

I didn't mean missiles as in Protons or Concussions. I meant the missiles as of LAATs and Hailfire Droids. I see them as related yet quite different fields.

This is second hand methinks. TFN ... .
Seems like it refers to ground weapons if weaponry, since we never saw much space battle in EP2 (unless you count Slave-1 and th eJedi Starfighter). AS I recall though, rockets are unguided.
"Rocket Technology" need not refer to weapons though. Maybe they refer to some kind of propulsion.

Given that quote is talking about one of the driod's the entrance before, it might very well be talking about R2D2's flight system for all we know.

We see a glowing object launched from a fighter that travels in a non-straight line towards a ship and explodes.
I believe there are more stuff like that too.
That bit was debated here and shown to be the ball cockpit from the TIE we see shot down.
My personal interpretation would be that the rocket tech bit would be in reference to things such as the Tech Union's ships which use large engines to lift them off the ground. Thus far we have only seen repulsors used for takeoff on small ships such as fighters and transports . It could be we see a capital ship lift off from the ground on repulsors.
