There's plenty of rubbish in there, but I like the prequels a hell of a lot more than the original trilogy. They have Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Amidala, who I like much better than Luke, Han or Leia. (I like all three of them in the new movies, couldn't stand them in the originals.) TPM has the Duel of the Fates battle with Maul, which is the best part out of all of the Star Wars universe. I like the big vagina stadium scene in AotC. And that hilarious scene where Amidala's dressed up like a bondage queen telling Anakin he can't have her.

Amidala was great in the first two. Such a pity she was turned simpering and useless in the third. Apparently there was a scene where she was going behind Anakin's back to start the resistance; can't remember if it was shot or not, but damn I wish it had been in there. It adds a real interesting tension to her telling Anakin not to keep secrets, and makes her uselessness a cunning front while she does something of consequence other than give birth.

Jar Jar is kind of a stupid character, but he's for kids, so whatever. He's not nearly as toxic as Jake Lloyd's Anakin. Lucas was a monster to put that poor talentless kid in that role.
