ANd on topic, Warbler, you care to explain the phenomenon? Just because someone is opposed to changing the original films and never releasing the Theatrical versions, (as I am) doesn't mean they can't enjoy a coulple of fun action flicks and ignore Jar Jar.
Truthfully, I only hate Jar Jar because of the way people react to him. I hate the fact that he took Star Wars'credibility in the eyes of Joe Schmoe, but he never really bothered me. So aside from the terrible romance and a few bad line readings, I don't get why the prequels are so hated.
