I'm reading a cnet article about the youtube video concerning how Episode I could be improved. In the comments, I find this brainwashed gem:

I probably represent the minority opinion here, but I really like episodes 1-3. I grew up with episodes 4-6, but was never overly impressed with them. The new films add (1) way better visuals, (2) much richer worlds, (3) greater character depth, and oh, yeah, (4) they completely changes the focal point of the story.

This guy loses me at, literally, an exponential rate. But he continues:

Watching 4-6, you get the feeling that the story is all about Luke...a young irritating kid who accidentally restores balance to the universe by whining so long enough that his father goes on a rampage and kills the closest person to him (the emperor).

*sigh*™

But 1-3 shows us that the story was never about Luke...it's always been about Anakin. This shift opens up a much deeper storyline. It elevates the story from cheesy space fantasy to sci-fi Greek tragedy. Anakin is Star Wars, not Luke.

*twitch*

Is Jar-Jar annoying? Not any more annoying than Ewoks, Jawas, or those ugly puppet things that hung around Jabba. I think he fits in with the SW universe quite well.
