We read the Jedi Prince series when we were kids and I guess we just never quite fully recovered.
You're saying Jedi Prince made you daffy and unable to judge correctly?
You know, I don't take issue with skyjedi or Puggo coming over here and sharing their distaste for the prequels because all they are doing is sharing their opinions of the movies. I don't hear either of them calling our opinions wrong though.
Sorry, I thought I was riffing off of your comment about the Jedi Prince series. Perhaps I mistook your meaning. What did you mean by bringing up Jedi Prince?

I think you're just bitter because we are able to enjoy them and therefore have 6 movies to watch instead of only 3.
I don't think so. If I'm "bitter" (though that's not quite the word for it) it's that I don't want the PT in my OT, and as has been put better recently by some others here, that's getting increasingly hard. I didn't come to OT.com because it was a "bashers" sanctuary so much as it was an "ignorers" sanctuary. Yet, as time goes on, anything Star Wars is increasingly becoming saga focused (with a heavy PT/TCW bias) and likewise OT.com (the membership, anyhow) is progressively becoming "saga" minded. That is to say, that the members here are less "ignory" than it used to be and I find that I don't enjoy coming here as much as I did 5 years ago. Even this sanctuary moon site has fallen to the PT machine.
And I find that very sad and frustrating.
Also- RE: the 3 vs 6 deal. I guess maybe you're right. I really wanted to like the PT and assumed I would... Right up until the fall of 1998 when the flags started to go up. But a couple years back, I basically liked 0 SW movies. The PT had tainted so much of my once and former passion for SW... I had to take a hardline "ignore" stance just to get back to liking the 3 of them again. I'm somewhat envious of anyone who like's all 6... but I also think there's something wrong with you.
I'm sorry but I didn't take too kindly to being told that I'm unable to judge correctly because I like the prequels. I don't think it's anybody's right to say who's judgement is correct but you may have just been being sarcastic and if that's the case than I misread your sarcasm and may have over reacted. If so then I apologize. My Jedi Prince comment was intended as a sarcastic response to your initial comment because I really didn't want this thread to turn into a argument about the prequels.
I do share may of the same criticisms about the prequels that other people here have. The difference is that I'm able to overlook these negatives and find something to enjoy about them still simply because they are still Star Wars films.
But I really don't think you have much to worry about as far as OT.com becoming more Saga oriented. We're still pretty much a minority here. But we still share the same passions for the classic films and their preservations that you guys do, otherwise we wouldn't be here.
