I think the thread should be called 'Who misses the hype of the prequels' , cause that was actually pretty fun. The anticipation for the name of each movie, the first trailer, and the expectations that Lucas was finally gonna get it right, plus seeing it opening weekend was always fun whether the movie lived up to the hype.

8 months after ROTS, I really don't miss the PT, cause I have finally gotten past my what if......stage of how I wish the prequels should have been done, and how much better they could have been. I am done second guessing Lucas's vision, and have taken the PT for what they are, semi-entertaining popcorn summer movies that if I watch just for enjoyment, they aren't half bad. If I try to either compare them to the OT, or try to watch them as a six story saga, I start to notice how inferior they all are to the OT movies, and how I just don't give a damn about the PT characters compared to the OT characters.

I don't get mad anymore at why some parts of the movies are bad, and now sadly I just wish Lucas never did them, cause to me that is the biggest reason we don't have the O-OT on DVD. He has to link them all together to sell them as a package, and that is why we are always going to have to put up with Hayden in ROTJ.
