yea, that whole "ZOMG SPACE IMPREGNATION" thing is probably the worst part of the PT.  At least, I think so...

It was awful. It was arrogant and it didn't fit at all. It made the Star wars universe that bit less real. It was part of this transformation of Anakin into a messiah figure and making the whole story of Star Wars revolve around him. Lucas likes to say how Star Wars is the story of Darth Vader, but we still remember the time when it was the story of Luke Skywalker.

Just like movies like the Watchmen film that is upcoming would have been unfilmable because they either could not do the effects traditionally or it would have been cost prohibitive or looked fake.  Like a guy in a blue rubber suit or makeup instead of a digital character that lives and breathes on the screen.

 

I have to say, seeing the preview photos for the Watchmen film, I may end up wishing that film had remained impossible to make.
