TPM was part of my childhood-as a separate film I can stand it.

I saw AOTC, but after seeing it in an omnimax dome theater I realized that things were getting worse. If you thought it was bad before-try seeing it in that dome! The horror..

ROTS was one of the most depressing experiences I've ever had in a movie theater. Completely lackluster and boring. You go in knowing exactly what will happen, and there's just no way that they'll just let it unfold like a great slumbering mess is there? Oh wait; that's exactly what they did. That was just a bunch of "ohs" and "I guess this is where he gets the-yeah".

After this I gave up SW for some time. I would look around from time to time at all of my stuff and long for the SW of my childhood. What I wouldn't give for another release of the 97SE in theaters. (OOT would be better, but I'll take what I can get.) It wasn't until the GOUT and this site that I began to pick up the pieces of my shattered fandom. Geeky, I know.

If the the majority of what was added to the EU for the Prequels was added or substituted the result would be much better. These films do suck though. They really suck. As films, as Star Wars-as just anything. They're bad on all fronts and most criminally they are tepid and uninspired. They are the cartoonish tripe that critics accused the OT of being.

"The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner now I am the master.""Only a master of empty technique!"

The absolute moment I realized the degree of suckness was when I finally saw the original version of THX-1138 again. Episode II was made by the same guy? How can it be?
