I mean seriously, the prequels had Qui Gon, Darth Maul, Count Duku, the Clone Battles on Geonosis, Jango Fett, Natalie Portman... the list goes on. :angel:
I'm not the biggest prequels fan, not the worst critic, but there was much to criticize. The worst frickin' dialogue "My heart...is burning blah blah Padme, end my suffering!" "I hate sand, it gets everywhere!" "If Master Obi-Wan knew I was doing this, he'd be vewy vewy grumpy!" The jumping hippo-turds in the grasslands - hell, the whole romantic aspect of AOTC was vomit-inducingly bad. Midichlorians - why do we have to "explain" the Force with science? Jar Jar, nuff said. The CGI everything was terrible. The Geonosians sucked. Artoo can suddenly fly, WTF. The battle droids sucked and were cheesy as hell.
George needed screenwriters to clean up his crappy scripts, and people who weren't yes men to tell him when his ideas sucked ass. I bet his script for episode 7 was full of little kids and terrible dialogue. It all probably happened on Tatooine, too.
I liked ROTS, mostly. Killing the padawans in the Jedi temple? Brutal. Palpatine killing the Jedi and then Windu, awesome. Anakin falling for his save Padme shit, though, not quite sure about that. Padme running while bursting pregnant, terrible. Him suddenly force choking her b/c the Dark Side apparently made Anakin go full retard. Obi-Wan sees two children born, yet in Empire has no idea about Leia - I mean, come ON WTF!?
Maul - cool. Dooku? Hated him. Best thing was him losing his head. Grevious? Meh. I mean, a droid with no force ability wielding multiple light sabers?
The pod race in TPM was good, too. Anyway, I could go on and on about the prequels. While I "like" them, these new movies are going to wash the bad taste outta my mouth.
