Is there anything that you actually like about the prequels?
Time

-I like Rose Byrne (the handmaiden) in Clones.
-I like the shot of the tanks approaching Naboo in Phantom.
-I really like the Trade Federation march. The scores in general are good, but this is the theme I most often hear.
-I like Sebulba, I wish he had won the race.
-Strange as it may sound, I like the TPM Yoda puppet. I like the movement he makes when he says “No more, no less.”
-I like the line “this party is over.”

I think that’s about it.

Filmmaker and New Yorker film critic Richard Brody's thoughts on the prequels.

For the record, Nemoidians do sound quite a bit like Titra/Bellucci dubs of Asian movies:

So, while I don’t think Lucas consciously wanted to mock Asians with the Nemoidians, there’s a pretty good chance he was if since he was influenced by Kurosawa’s films (among others), then he was also in intimate contact with the dubbed versions of said films.

At the risk of sounding like an elitist, I will say no subsequent entry in the franchise will be as good as Star Wars and Empire.

I hope you’re wrong about that. Hell, I want Rouge One to be better than The Empire Strikes Back.

I’m perfectly happy with the OT, I don’t think we need better Star Wars films, and I really doubt we’ll get them.
