Great monologue there. You seem to have taken a very intelligent view on the prequels without resorting to too much general bashing (IE, there seems to be a point to everything you said.

I don't think the prequels were "as bad as all that," but after reading SW Insider leading up to it (I have since canceled my subscription, thank Christ) and being a fan in general I expected quite a bit more. Most of the talent was wasted. Such a shame to see a great actor like Neeson being misused.

That being said, I look forward to Episode III. AOTC was a noticable improvement over TPM, and I'm hoping to see that same jump in quality.
