The prequels were always going to suck the writing was already on the wall in 1997 with the special editions. The prequels would be made to fit the special editions and not the original trilogy as originally released.
As a concept they suck, they are tonally and thematically different. Lack real heroes to root for, or any magic of any kind. They also lack emotion and when you left the theater you did not feel as though you were taking part in viewing something special or being uplifted like 1977's Star Wars.
Lucas should have moved ahead with the story after Return of the Jedi. Still now that Star Wars has become a shit kiddy series and is basically an advertisement for a product line, and become souless and sterile and safe no longer a daring series breaking new ground.
I want nothing to do with it.
I can imagine the future adeventures of Luke and company after Return of The Jedi. I can think of the idea of Lukes father as portrayed excellently in the oot and forget the Hayden/Vader obmination that Derailed the real star wars saga and story.
