Ha ha ha. Figures. I can't stand Kevin Smith. He's easily my least favorite director working today. Not only do I dislike all of his films, but I hold him responsible for single-handedly ruining everything which was previously neat about making Star Wars references in other creative works.

I've never taken his opinions on ANYTHING seriously before, and this is no exception.

He's been sucking up to Lucas since Phantom Menace ... and make no mistake: Smith is a huge suck-up. He's definitely courting work.

At one point I did wonder if my disliking the prequels had to do with me being older now ... then Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films came out, and they filled me with the same awe and wonder that Star Wars did back in the 70's.

Yeah, Mr. Smith ... the prequels are just three movies. Three BAD movies. Not unlike your films. No wonder you're so oversensitive.
