Eh, I don't hate them, I just think it would be cooler if they never happened. I would like them to go away now, like relatives who stayed too long. Obi- Wan and the emperor had many good moments, so there's that.
Also, Phantom Menace really does have a level of lush detail that none of the other 5 really have, so it's a unique mix of styles. a political story, a kid's adventure and a space-travelogue, you probably won't ever see that again.
