You can add me to the list of 'haters'. They are ineptly directed, hamfistedly-written cartoons that completely undermine the integrity of the OT.
There isn't one character that one can relate to or empathise with in the whole damn trilogy. They're simply not likeable. And all these 'mirrors' and 'rhyming schemes' Lucas blathers on about just show how deluded he is in his own belief that he can either write or direct.
I'm not even going to suggest they're a wasted opportunity. I couldn't care less about Vader's backstory or if he (shudders) built C3PO or not. Or bloody midichlorians.
If anything, I would have liked to have seen sequels...
