The six movies are really alike. So either it's your cup of tea or it isn't. It's like your the mother of twins and you hate one child and love the other. It's just not fair and irrational.

I've been thinking about this one, and it really makes no sense whatsoever. Well, I mean besides the obvious that movies aren't children (except maybe to the creator) and are not immune to criticism. But if you really want to bring a parent/child analogy to this, I feel mine is much more accurate:

The prequels are the favorite child, while the originals are the unfavorite. In fact, the father hates the originals so much he feels compelled to give the unfavorite plastic surgery as much and as often as possible to make him look more like his much, much more loved brother rather than just letting him be himself. Isn't that just an extremely dysfunctional family and a really terrible father?

Also, I object to this person's referring to the original films as the "sequel movies" when that's just entirely incorrect (unless he's referring specifically to ESB and ROTJ). The PREQUELS are the sequel movies.

Also, to explore the twins analogy further, let's say that the first twin grows up to be a lively, charismatic, and engaging fellow, while the second ends up as a dull, drooling retard.
Does pretending they're "alike", and I mean not so much in front of them, but completely deluding yourself into thinking that there's no difference whatsoever, do any good? How about you leave the two at the playground? The smart one will be fine, while the retarded one will probably fall off some ladder in no time. But nevermind that, they're all my sweet children, and they're all ALIKE!!

First thing about storytelling? Like, a protagonist?
