Seeing the story of Anakin was to be the single greatest joy I could behold when I first heard Lucas' plans for the prequel trilogy back in '97. Vader being my favorite character, of course I was fascinated by the prospect of seeing his transformation realized on screen. After seeing the prequels laid out over the past six years... I am just totally and completely underwhelmed. But again, this is just my opinion. I'm not saying that they are "bad" films. Just saying that what I thought and hoped I was going to see, I didn't. But I can't fault Lucas for that. He has his vision and I guess I had mine. And when it comes to Star Wars, for good or bad, it is his vision that sticks at the end of the day. (Where it sticks, again, is open to everyone's personal opinion.)

Personally, I like it when I hear that people enjoy the prequels. It is our differences in opinion that make give us all something to talk about.
