I for one love the Prequel Trilogy for what it is and have no complaints with it well besides that dreaded character Jar Jar Binks lol. Its not the Original Trilogy nor was it intended to be the Original Trilogy but what it was suppost to be was the back story the story that every Star Wars fan wanted to see for years and it 1999 we got it with The Phantom Menace with the story of Anakin Skywalker. I think people should let this topic rest because the Prequels are great movies and people just need to let it have its legacy in the Star Wars Saga.

You mention that the prequels are not the original trilogy nor were entended to be the original trilogy. I think a lot of people use this argument when discussing the prequels as why they are not great movies (and I strongly stress that they are not great movies).

I can't think of a single reason the prequels could not have been as equals to the original trilogy, or perhaps even better. What with the digital era of film making in full swing, Lucas had no technological limitations and could have put all of his focus into creating an awesome story arc and hiring the best to write, film, act and edit the new trilogy.

He could have not absolutely dropped the ball. But he did.

That is true you have your opinion as im entitled to mine i would have loved it if the prequels were directed by some one else but it just wouldn't feel like Star Wars to me if they were i mean after all Star Wars is George's creation and his alone to do what ever he may please with it.
