You have to keep in mind that the prequels are not crap I am choosing to enjoy to me. I am speaking in terms you guys are familliar with. To many of you the prequels are pure crap.

I was saying quality is subjective, and I could get into a million reasons why I personally think the Saga as a whole blows either trilogy out of the water on their own, but that would really be getting off topic here.

Zombie was giving me the whole "ignorance is bliss" line, which is where my comment came from.

Really I think the lack of ignorance being discussed here is assumed wisdom. I think sometimes you guys are so sure of how you think it should be, that I don't think you really give much thought to how Lucas actually did it. Instead of trying to figure out the method to his madness, you guys jump all over yourselves to declare Lucas a worthless film maker.

Going into the SE's and Prequels, I just let the man tell his story, and that's how I noticed the high level of art behind all the glitzy effects.

I don't think a lot of you want to see that art, I think for many of you, it's about not being able to accept change.

Here is a quote from Lucas I saved from a while back about how Anakin turns to the dark side:

Lucas: The message is you can't possess things. You can't hold on to them. You have to accept change. You have to accept the fact that things transition. And so, as you try to hold on to things or you become afraid of -- that you're going to lose things, then you begin to crave the power to control those things. And then, you start to become greedy and then you turn into a bad person.
