Basically what I'm saying as this - a great scene, or even a number of great scenes, don't make a good film if the rest of the meterial isn'y up to par. Yes, that's one of the main gripes I have with the prequels - especially with ROTS. Lots of wasted potential.

Anyway, whatever - I wasn't pulling a 'cheap joke'. AWK's post about crying really did make me lagh out loud.

Well, even though your allergic reactions to AWK in other threads shed a different light on that "LOL!!!", I take your word for it. I'm just happy for every discussion that doesn't derail into a flamefest because of unnecessary misunderstandings.

I jsut can't see how anyone bought Anakin's fall or his friendship with Obi-wan. Evidently some did, and I'm happy for them and wish I was one of them, but I'm not. The prequels done nothing for me.

I can partially relate to that. I expected much more from George Lucas and I am still convinced that he would have been capable to deliver a much better 'product'.

It may be sad, but the original trilogy may have gotten as good as it is, because the actors and production teams didn't take George Lucas and the whole StarWars thing all too serious. "Fear will keep the local production teams in line. Fear of this multimillion dollar franchise." "The more you tighten your grip, the more creativity will slip through your fingers..."
