Forget Disco Duck ... what the world needs is "Disco Dooku!" See, THAT'S entertainment.

Anakin and Padmes relationship is just one based on looks. Get over it.
Yeah, that's exactly why their relationship is so pathetic: just like the prequels, it's all heartless eyecandy.
Leia and Han shared a very compelling (and at one point, very unexpected) relationship. The princess and the pirate. Both were smart; both were heroic. One was royalty; the other was a man with a price on his head.
Ew ... but the prequels go from "Are you an angel?" to "I am haunted by the kiss you should never have given me." Ugh.
The romance in the prequels lacks tension and dimension.
Come to think of it, EVERYTHING about the prequels lacks tension and dimension.
Look, I don't even blame CGI for the prequels' creative failures. As Peter Jackson proves out, CGI can be very effective in the right hands ... those hands are not Lucas'. The prequels feel cold because of poor character development, bad storytelling, bad direction (which resulted in bad acting), and too much attention focused on merchandising.
