Okay, who actually HATES the Prequels — Page 4

The PT falls under the "Continuity" catogory. There is hardly any Continuity in the PT.

However, i do enjoy watching them as long as i don't have to watch Anakin and Padme flirt half the time.

Hmmmm.

I don't think I HATE them, but also I don't think they're okay.

I honestly can say I haven't seen any PT movie for over 2 years and that was because my GF wanted to see ROTS, which I really didn't but of course we ended up watching it. Long story short I fell asleep, literally. didn't even make it half way through.

So I can't say I enjoy them from time to time either.

To me, the best memory of the PT was the excitement of seeing the teaser trailers and trailers for the first time. Back in Nov. 98 when the TPM teaser came out I was truly over-hyped. I don't know about you, but those trailers for every one of the PT movies were really good at selling the movies and getting people excited. I still to this day, once in a while I watch them on youtube. Long time since I last did, but those were really great!

Back then, 98-99 EVERYTHING to me was about SW. At school, at home, on tv, the interwebs, etc.

Then a huge disappointment.

Same in 2001-2 and 2004-5, but less hype every time.

Over all, I think I'm more disappointed at what they ended up being. Angry at a huge missed opportunity, or 3. And sad in how many bad and profound ways they changed the story of the OT.

I do try to ignore them as best I can, but I can't help it but - THE SECOND Darth Vader enters the Tantive IV for the first time - think back and see a little annoying boy, whining teenager and plain stupid, insecure man behind the helmet and NOT the Darth Vader I grew up with.

THAT I cannot forgive.

So, I guess I do hate them, LOL! Honestly didn't think I did when I started typing this. whoa.

What good did the PT serve to the OT, honestly? Probably the Obi Wan character, but nothing else. The rest, all of the rest is just for the worse in OT terms IMO.

IGNORE!

EMPTY YOUR IN-BOX!

LA-LA-LA-LA LAMPPOST

So, Jonsey, what's the verdict of this informal survey of yours?

I have to say when they came out i got caught up in the excitement of new Star Wars movies.....but now I think they are pure shit and am embarrassed to think I tried to enjoy them

I second Bingowings' emotions about the missed opportunities the prequels represent.

The only fond memory I have of these movies is the (gradually degrading) air of anticipation before each of the movies was released.

Today, watching them feels like walking through an abandoned overmechanized themepark, where nothing really works.

So... I'm part of that "meh"-crowd, I s'pose.

Though most of the PT was CGI. A lot of it was miniature models. But the CGI kinda blended in with it is all. Most the characters now adays are in the blue suit technology as to actually get the character movements down.

And TPM. i always found that to be the best of the PT and gave me my favorite character. Darth Maul. i wish we could've seen more of him. Can only find him in the EU now.

I do like the PT very much. I just will never like it as much as the OT.

Teaser & trailer got me pumped as well.

But the more often I watched the full length trailer the more I asked myself

"will they manage to put in all that different sequences in different locations, without the movie feeling like a disjointed mess"

well, they didn´t

Can I be in the category of being unignored by xhonzi?  I fixed my old post.  Please?

Way i look at all this, its only a movie. Yes, i understand their were a lot of things done wrong, but its not a s big a deal as we make it. I hate being a star wars fanboy, too much work.
