Any GOOD memories of the PT?
Time
hey if the prequels inspired people like adamwan then as far im concerned they were worthwhile. i was underwhelmed by all the prequels, felt really let down by tpm espescially, but had high hopes for them getting better. but by the last 10 minutes of rots i thought the whole affair was so anti climatic that it really fueled my hatred for the prequels. i mean were they really neccessary? we had to go through bad dialogue, sub par cgi, lame jar jar antics, not to mention bad continuity just for that? in the end it was better the prequels and everyones origins remain a mystery. if i were a film critic i would have given them all 2 star ratings, and thats not good for star wars films. as tv movies movies fine, but theatrical movies, thats unacceptable

'Merge' Article- Lucas in his own words

i loved the books when they started coming out that was when star wars really felt dead and anything new having to do with star wars was a must. i read all those books up till ep1 and i still managed to read the darth maul book which i thought superior to ep1, and the first of the new jedi order series, after that it started to feel like star trek, too much a damn franchise. even though i'm sure those books were better written than the any of the prequels.
btw yes jedi was easily the least of the oot but it still felt like star wars and didnt overwhelm the other films like the prequels have

Yeah, well, that plot element was always there. You can't blame it on the PT for introducing it this time.

In the OT, we didn't know who exactly Uncle Owen was, or where Anakin came from. Now with the PT, Uncle Owen is Anakins step brother, and Anakin knows where he lives, plus Anakin is born on Tatooine. The PT is what made all these coincidences too much of a coincidence anymore where it just became stupid that they put Luke there.
thats an excellent point, i forgot about that

i wish they had been marketed as phantom menace and so forth. i dont like that episode tag at the front it makes it sound to pretentious and i dont like seeing star wars on every packaging. maybe he didnt think the merchandise would sell if he only used the prequel titles . though i did notice revenge of the sith on merchandise more than the others. probabaly because it had the best title

What are you talking about? Pat Robertson's not Canadian! I f I recall correctly, he added Canada to his 'Naughty' list in 1999
maybe because he hates himself
