Personally, the whole idea of the prequels was bland to begin with. One of the things that I love about the original trilogy was the suspense it made me feel the first time I saw it. Prequels can't have that, since I know how things will turn out. And yes, the writing isn't as good in the first two movies, and you have to hate Jar Jar Binks, but that doesn't mean that you must hate George Lucas. If anything, Jar Jar was a result of George trying to cater to the younger fans. Bad idea. If he had done things the way he used to, it would have turned out so much better.

 

And yes, movie makers want their films to sell well, but in the end, it's their work. Novelists want their books to sell, but they don't go out taking surveys of what people want them to have in their book. If anything, a work of art or literature is more enjoyable when the writer's true nature is revealed within, not some conformist garbage that results from trying to please others. It's more respectable for someone to write what they feel instead of what others want.

the prequils really have nothing on the orgonal 3, regardless of fan inrput or any of that stuff, they were porrly written, and porbably the only good actor in there was killed of in the first one (obi-wan's mento)
