Yeah, I didn't think the prequels were good, either; I just don't think they're as bad as everyone makes them out to be. Fans seem to be mad at them for not recreating the magical wonder of seeing spaceship battles when they were five years old, which seems like a tall order.

I didn't think Hayden Christensen was good, but Lucas managed to get pretty wooden performances out of Neeson, McGregor and Portman who are fantastic actors (and Liam Neeson made a whole career out of being amazing in utter dreck), so I don't hold it against Christensen that he couldn't shine beyond the directing. I mean, I don't think there's an actor out there who could have delivered that godawful dialogue sincerely. And I didn't find the character any more annoying and whiney than Luke in the originals, so I was fine with him.

I saw TPM a few times because I loved the fandom even if I only liked about thirty minutes of the movie. I think I only saw eps 2 and 3 once each in the cinema? I'm a fan of the idea of Star Wars much more than the actual movies. :-D I've enjoyed the new ones, though.

I've really enjoyed the new ones, too. I love the new cast, and I've enjoyed the old cast taking part as well. Can't wait for the next one.
