I would tend to agree. RotK and TTT have better moments I believe, but FotR seemed to be more consistently compelling in the way it presented hard choices for the characters. (That’s not to say the books for TTT and RotK didn’t have consistent content, but the films changed a lot of that.)
lol, perfect way to put it.

Now look at the PT characters other then the big 4 of Padme, Anakin, Palps, and Kenobi:
-Mace Windu = Boring
-Jar Jar = Do I need to expound
-Grevious = Get him some Robitussin
-Boss Nass = Stop slobbering!
-Captain Panaka = bland
-Dex at the Diner = Go flip burgers and get the fuck out a SW movie!
-Jango Fett = Unoriginal
-QuiGon = Good character, only shining spot of TPM
-Count Dooku = Good bad guy, wasted in ROTS
-Darth Maul = Looks cool, does he talk?
-Two Headed Pod Racer Announcer = UGGGH
-Every character in the pod race = Made for 5 year olds
-Lama Su = Sounds like a porno character

Why did he direct all three prequels?
Because after the SE Lucas realised directing just got easier. SW was a pain in the ass, now with technology he could sit in a chair behind plasma screens with an AD yelling "Action" and "Cut" himself occasionally adding "Faster" and "More Intense". The rest he could do with computers.

Heh, that was awesome (particularly your comment about Dex: McGregor still somehow makes that scene work, but that character was so incredibly stupid).
Anyways, we can discuss alternate timelines as much as we like, but Star Wars is what it has now become. The prequel’s concepts weren’t done well. Where do the fans with higher standards go from here? Do we simply pretend that the later Star Wars films and content don’t exist in our world and then divorce ourselves from the pop culture?
