I can't watch the prequels. Jar Jar killed the fandom for me. That and that whole midichlorians thing they switched to.

[kore]

Yeah, I know a lot of people nowadays grew up with the prequels and have affection for them, but it's really hard to overestimate HOW BAD Episode I was and how much it killed enthusiasm for the movies (yeah, even though they made a lot of money, because that's always the big defense).

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

[notasupervillain]

I feel like I blanked something out of my mind. It made no sense, but it was racist?

[lunabee34]

I'm not sure either. I got stuck on stupid and haven't really thought about it more deeply than that. LOL

[lunabee34]

It definitely makes no sense and totally undercuts everything about what the force actually is.

[kore]

Yeah, "the Force is the animating life that flows through the entire universe!....except only these very special people can use it via their blood powers." OH, GEORGE LUCAS.

*nods*

I hated that.

[lunabee34]

I saw them in the theaters and then again when Emma was young and wanted to watch them. I could watch them again; I don't hate them so much as just completely boggle that anyone thought fans of the original trilogy were going to be on board for ....that.

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