Backstroke of the West is my favorite Star Wars prequel by far. It makes more sense, is less ridiculous, and has better acting than The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, or Revenge of the Sith.

I tried to like the prequels. I tried really hard. But as time goes on I find less and less enjoyment in them. The initial excitement of "Hey, it's NEW Star Wars!" has worn off and I've had time to step back and look at them more objectively, and the only characters I care about are Yoda (in episodes 2 and 3 - in episode 1 he's an asshole) and Obi-Wan. Anakin should have been locked away for the good of the galaxy after his murderous tantrum in Attack of the Clones.

If I want to watch Star Wars, I'll stick to the Classic Trilogy or Backstroke of the West. I hope Adywan can make something with the prequels...
