All goofing aside; Even though I do sometimes touch on it, you guys have no idea how much I hate the idea of the Prequels - as they were released. The story, execution, casting, Lucas' revision of history, etc. I find it all vulgar.

A prequel story? - absolutely. Prequel story Lucas released? - absolutely not.

The problem with the prequels - besides all the problems you listed - is that there can be no drama or tension when the outcome is already known to the audience. I mean, we know Obi-wan is not going to die in them right?

Oh yeah? Well what about historical movies then?

Take 'Apollo 13'. That movie is pretty suspenseful even though pretty much all of us know that the astronauts survived. However, it's in the execution that the movie is suspenseful.

When a movie is done well the can still be suspense, even though we know the outcome.
