Father Skywalker said: I'm am still very confused on why you dislike the prequels..... 3 of my friends are prequel-fans....2 of them love all of the prequels equally, one of them says that he loves episode 3 but he finds episodes 1 and 2, as just merely ok, and meh......Do you hate/dislike the prequels trilogy because they ruined the mystery of the originals trilogy??? Do you believe that the prequels trilogy was ireedemable, and regardless of how it could have been better or improved, it's existence, is, in and of itself, bad, and it ruins the originals???? RESPONSE: I believe the prequel trilogy could have been done well, but it would require some clever, inspired and creative writing. Unfortunately, the only creative impulse that went into the writing process was "faster, more intense!". Then there was the execution. The actors were mediocre to terrible, the effects were done mostly digitally, which may have been a great idea back then, but now they mostly seem terribly dated. And that is just scratching the surface. Father Skywalker said: The noble Old Republic used armies of clones; why is that wrong??? RESPONSE: Is this even a serious question? How about the same reason we haven't yet cloned a human being? Because it doesn't seem right. Basically the Clone Wars were about Republic pitting their artificially manufactured disposable human beings against the armies of disposable machines. And everyone was so degenerated that it didn't even strike them as a moral dilemma. Now if "Clone Wars" (which was established as soon as Episode IV) was in fact about this dilemma - and the bad guys would be in favor of such policy - that would make an interesting conflict.

How exactly did they make clones??? Those Jango Fett clones looked like middle aged, like 40 year yr old men. By that logic, Anakin Skywalker should have aged decades at the end of episode 2.......How did they make the clones so fast??? Like a factory assembly line??? Sorry, I apologize if me asking all of these questions and opinions is annoying to you, but I just didn't pick up on that in the movies.......

I aint sure if cloning is immoral or moral, that depends on what the laws/government says and what your religion says.....
