McGregor has always been critical of the PT, including working in front of bluescreen for 95% of the movie. Neeson also has talked about how he was disappointed in TPM, and even Natalie distances herself from the PT, as I am sure she regrets doing the movies now, cause it did nothing for her career as opposed to getting nominated for an Oscar for her role in Closer.

This will be what the majority think of the PT years down the road, it will always be inferior to the OT, plain & simple. Sure there is a diehard niche fanbase of PT fans at TFN, but there are so many socks there I can never tell HOW many people are legit there. Whenever someone on TFN told me they loved the PT, I always remember there is someone out there who loved Battlefield Earth. I say to each his own!
