I thought he opinion was all the prequel character are like cardboard cutouts and don't stand out as people, and are one dimensional which i agree with by the way.  I disagree with his views of avatar and star trek.  But he was spot on for a lot of episode 1's crimes against real star wars.

I did not really like Liam as Qui Gon.  Which is interesting because he was good in Schindlers List, and Rob Roy.  He had the same problem as all the prequel jedi to me.  Like you said once the jedi in the prequels were prententiousness striking poses, and i agree with that.

Mace, Yoda, Obi Wan, Qui Gon.  Qui Gon may be the least of these but still not oot concept of the jedi.  In fact he was a new character who never was outlined in the oot of prequels outlined which we never saw,lol.

I thought Macgregor did an excellent Job with what he was given to work with in revenge of the sith, but it really is not a mark against him he could not pull off Alec Guiness, what actor could?

I thought he was awful in the first 2 prequels though.  Also the Jedi were smug and arrogant and unlikeable wanting to make you hate them and cheer on the order 66 killings.

The worst idea of all was making Hayden Skywalker a jedi master in the clone wars cartoon, just amazingly stupid.  Even if voiced by someone else than hayden that is not Anakin Skywalker so why i distinguish him as hayden skywalker.

Of all the characters ruined.  The treatment of yoda in all three was awful, especially in II and III.  And III made the Emporer into such a bad cartoon joke that made return of the jedi's over acting oscar worthy.

Stupid to give the Emperor and Yoda lightsabers.  Just for more pointless lightsaber duels.
