Sorry to bump this but I found this article that reminded me of your first post so much I just had to leave this here.

Seems like a barrel of laffs!
The whole premise of that site is bullshit.
I stopped reading when the guy drew a connection between the PT and Greek mythology. I'm so sick of hearing that crap. I admit I'm no expert on Greek mythology, but I sure as hell wasn't born yesterday; whatever the Odyssey/Illiad may be, they sure as hell aren't glorified Z-grade schlock like the prequels.
Dude, Duracell, I took Latin for 4 years, was in the Junior Classical League/Latin Club/Classical Antiquity Appreciation club in High School for 2 years, and have read The Odyssey, Iliad, Aeneid, Oedipus Rex, Plato's Republic and so many other great reads of classical antiquity in my life and have seen a heap of film adaptations of the Odyssey, Iliad, Jason's Argonauts, and all of that. Believe me, even some of the worst film/TV hack adaptations of ancient works from thousands of years ago, are superior to the Prequels, and that article is completely missing the point. Those classical works are ingenious cultural touchstones of inscrutable literary workmanship and cultural value...the Prequels were bombastic failures as films in nearly every regard. No Comparison!
