[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6783494, member: 92305"] I dislike the Star Wars prequels as much as most fans. But, like Vader, I still see some good in the shows. Not enough to save them, but the prequels had their moments. So, this thread is about, "What did you like?" For me? I liked the look of the [B]Naboo starfighters[/B] quite a bit. They were different from what we were used to and fit the pageantry associated with Naboo's culture (from looking at the Queen's costumes and face painting). I actually like the [B]story behind the prequels[/B]. Palpatine's Machiavellian politics and rise to power, and Anakin's slow fall to the Dark Side. I thought the actual story is really incredible. The presentation of that story is where it fails, in my opinion. The story, though, is quite intriguing and more complicated and involved than I would think at first. It's a well thought-out tale (that was just not presented that well at all). I like how Lucas directed the [B]R2-D2[/B] scene in The Phantom Menace. That little droid is a brave little thing! I liked how the [B]Clone Army[/B] was thought of as the "good guys", and then the troopers became the "bad guys". They're the bad guys in the original trilogy, but they're the Republic's troops in the prequels--the good guys. The fight between Jango Fett and Obi-wan Kenobi, both in the asteroid ring and on the water planet was, for me, the best fight scenes in all three of the prequels. I thought Darth Maul was just down right cool. I think they should have kept him throughout all of the prequels. He should have been the last test for Anakin before turning to the Dark Side. Anakin should have had to defeat him to become Darth Vader and take his place at the Emperor's side. There's more, but let's see what things it was you liked about the prequels.... [/QUOTE]
