hey if the prequels inspired people like adamwan then as far im concerned they were worthwhile. i was underwhelmed by all the prequels, felt really let down by tpm espescially, but had high hopes for them getting better. but by the last 10 minutes of rots i thought the whole affair was so anti climatic that it really fueled my hatred for the prequels. i mean were they really neccessary? we had to go through bad dialogue, sub par cgi, lame jar jar antics, not to mention bad continuity just for that? in the end it was better the prequels and everyones origins remain a mystery. if i were a film critic i would have given them all 2 star ratings, and thats not good for star wars films. as tv movies movies fine, but theatrical movies, thats unacceptable
