Welcome Magnus! You share my opinions on the prequels exactly. It can be quite disheartening confronting the fact these films are just inherently flawed on a basic level and unfixable without major refilming. It can drive you a little crazy constantly coming up with ideas of what could have been, but these types of threads are in no way feeding our crazy delusions. No, not at all! *cackle*
Good to have you aboard! :D
