Hayden Christensens's acting i find to be so painfully bad i cannot even watch episode II or III without wanting to hit the mute button whenever he talks.

For someone who hates the prequels so much, you seem to mention watching them (or at least attempting to) quite often. Strange. I hate em too and so I haven't watched em since ROTS was released.

Back on topic, I think the visual design for Jar-Jar was really cool. I was really excited to see what he was like in the film (I kept myself from spoilers). Disappointing to say the very least.
