[citation][nom]wild9[/nom]That from a guy who brought us the last 'Trilogy'. Perhaps he could use the settlement to make decent prequels. In the meantime I'm going back the 80's, minus Ja Ja bloody Blinks, the PC, Kids in battle zones looking like they came out of a salon, over-use of CGI etc etc. Collectively it seems like it's all made in order to appeal to the attention span of gnat but hey, we better not use the name Jedi..[/citation]
i seriously dont understand every old timer fan's (im an old timer too though) hatred for jar jar .. sure it's astupid cahracter , but what do you expect the movie was made for ALL audiences not jsut the grown up fan base,. really think back , was r2-d2 and c3-po's antic any better ? i've actually thoguht long and ahrd on this and i seriously can't say no .. c3 and r2 (especially c3) were both really stupid and annoying characters EVERY BIT as mucha s jar jar is in the prequels. differnece is your memory as a child is colored fondly because as a child you liked those gooffy robots. just like young kids today like the stupid humor that jar jar broght to the prequels.
as for teh plot and attention sapn grappign , NONE of teh starr wars movies had really good "attention grapping" of the originals the best was Emprie , because it was dark , out of the prequelsteh best was revenge of teh sith again cos it was dark. the whole series (not just prequels ) is goofy when you think about it , and all 6 movies were written mostly to appeal to children. so no i don'tthink goerge ruined star wars with the prequels ,i think they fit perfectly. as for teh CGI , that's just the times, soem things a re jsut impossible with out cig , (namely land scape shots) though i do think they should have stuck to a yoda puppet ,but then again i doubt they could have gotten a puppet to light saber fight as well as a cgi yoda did.
