Now I might be going away from the main topic for a while - and at the same time speaking about the topic - but do you guys remember the reviews for TPM and AOTC when they came out? Now, correct me if I'm wrong or if you guys experienced anything different, but for a week or two it had a major fan apreciation, specially AOTC. During the first week it had a +-8.7 rank on IMBD, along with reviews praising that SW was back and stuff like that... And now, it's the biggest crap of all. Now, I think TPM is worse than AOTC, and AS MOVIES, ignoraing the whole SW thing, they are actually good movies, and somewhat entertaining.

Now my question is, what has made the SW comunity change their minds in over a week? Peer pressure into saying the prequels were bad, specially AOTC where this was more acentuated and noticeable? Don't you think we are being intimidated into saying that the prequels suck?

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't like them. I don't enjoy the prequels and I almost don't consider them to be SW canon. OT and PT are two distinct things, and while the PT is actually entertaining and watchable as movies (although irritating and dull at some points), they are not as good as the OT and not as... how can i say... star-warish...
