The culture has pretty much already came to the consensus the prequels sucked...
Hardly. If anything, the culture has declared them a major success. Star Wars in the realm of modern pop culture is most definitely PT-leaning.
We're on a very narrow-focused board here, so our view is going to be counter to what mainstream culture deems successful & important. Take a quick look at the TFN boards - people are more than happy with the PT. The films we like were given away as an extra, in sub-standard form. We're in the minority here. We're the rebels going against the Empire.
You guys all know my stance, it's even more narrow - the 1977 version of one of the films. I haven't seen Star Wars as an awesome, larger than life presentation since I sat in the theater in 1977. Believe me, I get the frustration - really I do. I just don't have the hate and the venom.
Weird - I listen to the XM film score channel all day and Star Wars just started. What a fantastic score. It's currently the music when R2 & 3PO are walking through the desert. Fitting - considering how far away from all things mainstream Star Wars Saga I am.
