Hate is a strong word. I don't hate him. I do hate what he's done to the SW franchise though. I was 7 when the first SW came out in '77 and have been a huge fan ever since! I have a 15'x10' storage unit completely filled mostly of SW collectibles that I've collected over the years. When it was finally announced that the new SW films were finally being made after all these years I was ecstatic. I never expected the original trilogy to be surpassed, but I do think the Prequels could've been much better! In my opinion they were very disappointing (with HORRIBLE writing, dialog, and even worse acting!). I walked away from Phantom Menace bored and utterly dissatisfied. Ep II was an improvement, but still had bad dialog and bad acting. Ep III was an improvement over the previous two films, but still disappointing! Yes, the effects are nice (for the most part), but that alone doesn't make a movie! If George had used someone to re-write the dialog and allowed someone else to do the casting we could've had a much better and satisfying Prequel Trilogy. I'm sure that are many that will argue with me and think I'm an idiot for writing this, but it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
