I know many fans were disappointed with TPM, and Jar Jar, but still held out hope for the other two episodes. I think in my mind most people gave up on the prequels after AOTC. I think that movie, despite how bad Jar Jar is in TPM, is really the one where people just put their hands up and said WTF?

Sure ROTS, IMO, is the best one of the three, and was anticipated by most, but I think the damage of AOTC really disappointed fans, and the success of Lord of the Rings, really hurt Star Wars, and that was the final breaking point. TPM disappointed, and then AOTC drove a daggar through our hearts. And even though I liked ROTS, the damage was done, and could not be repaired.

When did you guys finally put your hands up and realize this prequel trilogy may not be worth it?
