[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 943405, member: 7394"] OK, in all fairness, I didn't think the Star Wars prequels were all that bad. Each movie had memorable moments that made them worthwhile. My biggest beef with TPM was simply the overuse of Jar Jar. He wasn't funny and he was obviously there for the kids. Some usage of him in the movie would have been OK, but the overusage was just bad execution. AotC was an improvement. I was relieved when we saw more C3P0 and R2-D2 doing the comic relief and Jar Jar was reduced to a bit part. Of course that simply shows that Jar Jar was an experiement that failed (quick Lucas, nuke the character so you don't take any more heat! Who cares about the continuity?). My main beef with it is that its too dry. I really haven't found a reason to like Anakin yet at all, and I'm currently of the opinion that Darth Vader was a much more compelling character. At least Luke, while being a whiny brat, was likable. Speaking of which, we haven't seen a compelling villain yet other than Palpatine, but we already know what he's all about. Darth Maul had potential, but his lack of lines and rapid exit pretty much scrapped any interest there. Jango Fett pretty much made the movie for me, and I'm hoping that we get to see Boba Fett come back in episode III and disintegrate Mace Windu. I also had a problem with the way Yoda shows up at the end of the big fight scene and save Anakin and Obi-One. Sure, it was neat to see him fight finally, but it takes away from the final scene. It would have been like Obi-One showing up and kicking Vader's butt at the end of Empire. They should have gotten beat, and then had to escape Dooku on their own. Oh well, it wasn't the best movie and it wasn't the worst, but at least it didn't have ewoks. [/QUOTE]
