And for those who insist that it makes no sense to love Jedi but hate the prequels, get ready for this: I think the prequels are a suckfest from episode I all the way through episode 3.

This makes perfect sense simply because of the OT characters are better then the PT characters.

I actually like the story the PT tells, and think it expands the OT story much more and gives it more depth. But I just don't care for the characters in the PT (mostly Anakin & Padme), so that pretty much ruins any enjoyment of the movies.

ROTJ is not as great as SW & Empire, but it still has Luke, Leia and Han, and I enjoy following those characters adventures for another 2 hours to tie up the trilogy.

When I watch the PT, I almost watching it for the story simply because I loved the OT so much, but can't stomach any characters (although I do like Obiwan played by Ewan McGregor.) But Anakin & Padme are the stars of the PT, and when you get to the end of ROTS, I am supposed to feel sad for their tragic fates as Padme dies and Anakin is placed in an iron lung, and I felt absolutely nothing towards either of them. Whereas in the OT, when Han goes into Carbonite and you see Leia's face, you feel for those characters and their situation.

With all the debate about CGI vs Real Locations, Jar Jar, and how much politics should have been in the PT, the real problem for me will always be the characters, because I honestly don't give a rat's ass about their fates.
