The Prequels - my personal opinion

I liked episode III quite a bit, actually. The dialouge between Palpatine and Anakin, the conflict within Anakin being torn between the Republic and the Jedi Council, him thinking he's doing the right thing, and his love for Padme and wanting to save her life being the deciding factor. I thought it was all pulled off very well.

Anyway, I'm glad you like the film, Damon.

In the end that's all that matters, really. We can bitch, bitch and bitch some more, but the films are what they are. The debate seems never ending, get over it, and move on. Once people realize that, maybe we can all get back to enjoying Star Wars, fans of the orginals and prequels.


yes that is what i mean, there not complaining anymore there saying yeah the OT was better but hey look on the brightside this was kinda cool, and this helped this along etc. we all know that the PT had its faults but people like those above have accepted them and are moving on with there lives. as apposed to those that are like, THE PT NEVER EXISTED in my eyes, i never saw them. that denial and thats not a good thing. hahaha

No sh--.

I see a lot of people referring to the Lord of the Rings books as "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy." Oddly enough they don't include The Hobbit as part of it, even though the Hobbit is the direct predecessor to said series. Why isn't it called the "Hobbit" series? Why aren't those, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales called "The Middle-Earth books?"

While we're at it, what's the difference between pre-Crisis DC Comics and post-Crisis DC comics? Why aren't they all just "DC Comics?"

Why differentiate between "Mega Man" and "Mega Man X?" Why not just call them all "Mega Man"? Why are people sometimes fans of one but not the other?

Hell, why even go that far? Why not just call Tolkien's books "Fantasy Novels?" or even just "books?" Why not call DC's comics just "comic books?" Why not call Mega Man games simply "Video Games?" It's not like there's any elements that distinguish these from any other books, comics, or video games, are there?


cause those were direct names given to them by the authors, but i see your point and i not argueing with you.
