easy.
Yup. I'm not one of those "Lucas raped my childhood" people, it's that the prequels stink. I can't believe people defend the garbage Lucas put out, and it's annoying when people try to defend garbage.

"Well, the prequels were meant for kids" - standard fanboy

Hey dipshit, so were the originals.

"The final lightsaber battle in Sith makes up for every bad thing about the prequels"- standard fanboy

You mean the drawn out fight where half the time Obi and Vader literally don't even strike each other but just flail around there lightsabers like they're in a yo-yo freestyle contest?


I love STAR WARS, and the STAR WARS Universe. I also love Natalie Portman (she's #1 on the top 3 women my wife wouldn't care if I slept with), but the prequels aren't good.

Oh man prequel fanboys will go to seriously great lengths to come up with reasons why the films are somehow good.

And they should all be pointed to the Red Letter Media reviews to watch them crumble.

I've never encountered a prequel fanboy. I've seen the type that say "they're meant for kids," but those type typically aren't big fans of either trilogy. Maybe I've been sticking to the right sites.

Stay away from any place Star Wars centric. It's horrible.

Ther's a guy who got so upset by one of those he wrote a 108-page rebuttal to one of them.

That is classic right there man!! :lol: I couldn't agree more though and they need to get away from the 3D crap which will inevitably make it's way to BD release! :x
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

Those are so great and yet can be so irritating at the same time. I could do without the stalker/kidnapper aspect, but they still remain great movie critiques.

Well played Sir.

By any chance is there a movie based SW Trilogy games vs. SW Prequel games topic? It could be possible that the prequel based games are better.

I've always been annoyed that Star Wars episode III came out in the same year as Serenity (2005) and was much, much, MUCH more successful when Serenity was a ten times better movie within the same genre. I seriously felt sad for the state of Sci Fi in the movie industry and frankly, just sad that George Lucas makes more money than Joss Whedon
