Actually, Lucasfilm's output has been less than stellar these last ten years. Lucasfilm (which is one of those evil corporate STUDIOS you so love to bash) doesn't seem to realize that the cash cow that is Star Wars has been very low on milk for a very long time, and I'm just counting the days till it runs out. The Lucas Empire's movies AND games have been shoddy for quite a long time.

So, maybe I can't enjoy anything new from Lucasfilm because what they've given me so far recently wasn't any good. You can't seem to grasp the fact that the reason we don't like new Lucas stuff isn't because of OT nostalgia, or because we are bent against Lucas. We don't like it because it just isn't any good.

That is a completely different case, where the director intends the prequels to be seen first. Unlike, say, Exorcist: The Beginning.

Well, if you wanna play that game, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" is arguably the worst of the IJ trilogy (but then again, that's like saying a Lamborghini is better than a Ferrarri, right?). But it's also technically a prequel. What if people saw that one, and didn't see the other two because they didn't care for it?
