Are you glad the Star Wars prequels were even made?

[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 1304364, member: 3570"] Interesting that you neglect to mention the one scene from the prequels I [i]did[/i] feel was on par with the originals: Anakin departing the Lars homestead to search for his mother. Him staring at the twin sunset in the exact same place where an angst ridden Luke would one day look longingly at the horizon. Then the shadow he cast on the hut when embracing Amidala before the rousing score as he strode to the speeder bike and blasted off. [b]That[/b] was Star Wars to me. [b]That[/b] was something that a young Darth Vader would do. That alone took me back to the epic grandeur of the first three films. I also loved how they brilliantly explained the "look" Uncle Owen gives Beru in the original Star Wars when Luke mentions that the droids belong to someone named "Obi-Wan." In AOTC when they're all standing at Shmi's grave 3PO comes rushing out of the ship saying they have an urgent message from Obi-Wan Kenobi, right in full earshot of Owen and Beru. Then Anakin and Amidala hurriedly depart and as a result Anakin goes off on an adventure, has an arm amputated, is assumedly kicked out of the Jedi Order, and eventually "killed." No wonder Owen would be against Luke seeking out Kenobi and following in his father's footsteps. For all the gaping continuity errors between the trilogies, that tie-in was spectacular. As for the poll, I still voted "No, because they detract too much from the originals." TPM was just horrid in that regard. Midichlorians. Anakin building C-3PO. The Jedi at the peak of their supposed badassedness being nothing but incompetent bureaucrats. Introducing Gungans into the saga. Midichlorians. Liam Neeson being Obi-Wan's instructor instead of Yoda. Oh, and midichlorians. AOTC wasn't too bad, young Boba Fett was awesome and Jango Woo Fett was pretty cool. The Clone Battle had ZERO narrative weight (it was one giant field test, whoopedy doo) and the Death Star being designed by *bugs* instead of Imperials was downright stupid. At least the Clonetroopers looked badass. Maybe they'll get to do something that actually means something in Episode III. [/QUOTE]
