Everytime I watch that scene I think I am watching the original Back to the Future and waiting to see Marty McFly walk in with Kenobi, and say, "You built a time machine out of midiclorians?"

Every time you watch it? I find it funny that nearly everyone who claims to hate these movies so much spends so much time watching/rewatching them and constantly making them the focus of their free time on the internet.

I'm not trying to make this a personal attack at all, I'm just curious as to why.

I guess I should have said, Everytime I watched it, using past tense. When each prequel came out, I gave them more than a few shots cause I wanted to love these movies, but as I watched them more and more, the more I realized I was naive that they weren't great movies.

I admit it took me awhile cause I was a prequel defender up til ROTS, cause I thought that would be the next ESB. I never thought TPM & AOTC were great, but I kept saying, wait til ROTS, everything will make sense. And then when Lucas botched that movie, especially the turn scene, I started reevaluating the whole PT, and realized if Lucas can't make one damn good movie, whats the point? I will not lie and say I haven't watched the PT movies more than once in the past, but they are becoming a distant memory cause Lucas couldn't link the two trilogies, cause we keep asking questions like, "How does Leia remember her mom?" I just watch 4-6 now, and that bad writing crap doesn't exist to me anymore. That as honest as I could be about the prequels.
