Delusions of Grandeur
What is surely the most critically acclaimed feature of the prequels?
the dragon that got loose from Pern
2 (10.5%)
Padme's medically sound diagnosis by gyno bot of "lost the will to live"
12 (63.2%)
the primordial NOOOOO! scream
8 (42.1%)
all the delightful CGI'd creatures
5 (26.3%)
Natalie Portman running in the sand like a deranged chicken
3 (15.8%)
With whom does Lando Calrissian have smoking hot sexual chemistry?
This only applies to people who watched a New Hope unspoiled for subsequent events: Did you think Luke/Leia was endgame ship?
For those same people in #3, were you sad when the ship focus shifted to Han/Leia?
Han and Chewbacca have totally had sex.
Naturally--just two BFFs giving each other a hand out there on the raggedy edge

Well, they kinda had to on that one planet; it was a condition of their release from one sort of penal servitude to another; and it was televised
7 (36.8%)
*totally shocked face* My, word. No.
3 (15.8%)
Only when Leia is watching
2 (10.5%)
Maybe? IDK They are both very private people
5 (26.3%)
How do you think the next movie should deal with Carrie Fisher's death?
Best fandom to cross over with Star Wars? Tell me why in comments.

And the SW worldbuilding was always....ahem, but the midchloridians thing was racist AND made no sense!

Jar Jar is very grating. And the midichlorians just doesn't make sense. It's the freaking force, not a biological mechanism.

Welp, now I know what image is going to be haunting my dreams tonight.

Her losing the will to live is so dumb. I mean, I am not sure that I believe that in a future with space ships and sentient robots that women who have access to state of the art hospital services are routinely dying in childbirth. A slave on a backwater moon, sure, but I feel like they had to make her die like a fallen woman in a Victorian sensation novel because her dying under those circumstances doesn't really make sense.

Don't think I've read any crossovers - will have to ponder that.
The only things I remember fondly from those abysmal prequels are Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor. I've tried to block the rest out - Lucas may be a visionary but execution ... sigh.

As for crossovers... Let's just say I've posted a couple and have Drawerfic ficlets for every single fandom I've ever written for that isn't SW.

I love the idea of crossing over Star Wars with everything. It's not a fandom I see crossed over. I'm more likely to see Harry Potter or MCU show up in any given fandom, but I love the idea of crossing over Star Wars. I would especially love a Firefly/SW crossover.

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.

I do remember that young Anakin's actor didn't bother me, but I really didn't like Hayden Christensen as adolescent Anakin.
It's so fascinating how we all react so differently to the same media. I love it.
