Well, there is one thing about the prequals that I really like and that is the music. I like how he is blending established Star Wars music from the first trilogy and ever so slightly sprinkling it into the prequals. When I saw TPM the first time, I was a little put off by the music because it just didn't seem 'Star Warsy' enough. But I have to say, I think that TPM musically is very solid and quite good.

I also like how, just like the first trilogy, TPM music became a template for the rest of the films. Williams came up with new music for AOTC but continued to use familiar themes from TPM in new and different ways. Kind of like how Duel of the Fates was the BIG saber fight in TPM but in AOTC it was heard when Anakin was searching for his mother. Same piece of music used to convey a different mood. I haven't listed to the score for AOTC much, but it seem to be on par with the rest.

I hope Williams can come up with some really good stuff for ROTS.
