Star Wars has been a children's cartoon for decades. Let the adults have a few hours for a change.

Well Star Wars always had both adult and children elements. There is a huge misconception among many fans who say the prequels were for the kids. The prequels had as much adult stuff as OT. The difference is that both adult and kids stuff in the prequels was bad/annoying.

I don't think it's a misconception necessarily. It's my observation that it is a lie that the PT/GL apologists at TFN tell other people and themselves in order to stave off that sinking feeling they'll get, (that the rest of us felt in 1999) when they sit down on opening night for Ep VII and are schooled in what Star Wars is supposed to look like.
