Lightning Strikes 03/03/12 11:25:00 AM #15:	Not liking something something=/=Practically holding a witch hunt for almost 13 years. Guess which one Star Wars fans tend to do! I'm not saying you have to like the prequels or anything, but the type of behaviour Star Wars fans perform is just unacceptable. There are people on this very board who wish George Lucas was dead just so the prequels never happened. Not even making that up, people actually said that. Apparently I was the only one who took issue with that, which is disgraceful. And that's not all. That's just one example. Any mention of the prequels brings out the absolute worst in people. They weren't even that bad. Episode III was even outright good on its own. Maybe even better than Episode VI. But even Episodes I and II were mediocre to slightly bad at worst, certainly not comparable to The Room. They had great effects which still stand up today, competent technical direction, good cinematography, fantastic music, some good performances, and some straight up excellent action scenes. Flawed? Yes, very. But certainly not awful, and certainly not worth this level of indecency and obsession. Of course even if they WERE awful, it wouldn't be worth that. They're only movies, guys. Let go. It's okay that you don't like them, move on. -- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig <cite>Lightning Strikes posted [p:865092] in Has George...

That's completely ridiculous, but that hasn't happened in this topic, so I'm not sure why you're bringing it up here. Whenever anyone says something negative about the prequels, even if they're legitimate complaints, I see you going "GOOD GOD STAR WARS FANS." Why are you doing this? As for the prequels not being awful, obviously that's an opinion. I personally did think they were awful, though you could make the case for III merely being "bad". I didn't mean to say they're as bad as The Room, I was just bringing that movie up as an example. And as for people here complaining about the prequels every other week - well, yeah, lately there's been a big increase in prequel bashing. Not sure why that is. We do have a lot of passionate Star Wars fans on the board, though, so it's understandable that "the prequels are terrible" is a subject you're going to see here with some frequency. <cite>Mr Lasastryke posted [p:865098] in Has George...

I didn't mean to say they're as bad as The Room, I was just bringing that movie up as an example.And as for people here complaining about the prequels every other week - well, yeah, lately there's been a big increase in prequel bashing. Not sure why that is. We do have a lot of passionate Star Wars fans on the board, though, so it's understandable that "the prequels are terrible" is a subject you're going to see here with some frequency.The fact that you have seen all of these topics is the point.When was the last time we had a "ugh KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL WHAT DID YOU DOOOO" topic.People are allowed to say that Star Wars fans are fanatically bad because they keep making these topics, so people keep responding.ps kingdom of the crystal skull is probably a worse offense than the prequels -- http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gifhttp://www.megavideo.com/?v=57N0YAEJ </quote> ...

This is not an opinion. His character is just too much at odds with what we knew he would become and there are 'wtf moments' like "Yippee!" that are undefendable. And then turning Jar Jar into a SENATOR? Lets just forget that jar jar in episode 1 was the way he was. I suppose they "needed" a native guide, but they did not need to make him a companion for the entire movie. Name a character from the original trilogy who they included simply to use for cheap jokes. "meesa clumsy!". There isn't another character like him in SW. But then even after doing that and after learning how poorly he was received they decided to not only bring him back, but to make him a SENATOR in star wars canon? A lot of it just feels like Lucas says "oh hey all you star wars fans who love and respect the series so much. Yeah you. ** you all."
