everything in the prequels is completely bastardized, watered-down, flitered-out, cut and paste, hackneyed, dumbed down, cop out film making. even some of the music. the movies are truly an insult to loyal fans of what Star Wars once was. taking elements of the old trilogy, mutilating them, and using them to achive pseudo continuity and try to hook newcomers on the two trilogies as one whole is but one small example of why people have such hatred for him.
