Prequels

The Star Wars prequel trilogy is terrible and if you like it so are you. Fun fact: George Lucas had nothing to do with the best the franchise had to offer. He was merely a producer for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Also, not a thing to do with the Knights of the Old Republic games, which are great. And also super not canon.
The movies are objectively awful. The CG makes everything look fake. It's a far cry from the groundbreaking and beautiful practical effects of the original trilogy. The script is atrocious. The actors are even openly mocking the script on screen.

Also. Freaking Jar Jar Binks. What the Bjork?!?* I was 5 when Trilogy of Errors Episode I premiered. I wanted to go Star Platinum on him, and I didn't even know what JoJo was back then! One of the few nice things I can say is that he doesn't speak in Episode II or III.  You can have a kid appeal character that adults don't actively hope gets killed off. Face it, the homosexual undertone filled scenes with C3PO and R2D2 were that. No one wanted them to die. If you do, you are a monster.
ORA!
Admit it. If Jarjar was real, you would all want to do this to him.. (also, I just sold you this show with a single .gif)

Anyway, the prequels are terrible. They have none of the charm or appeal of the originals. There are no memorable characters. No memorable moments no quality. Disney is the best thing to happen to the franchise. On one hand, KOTOR was purged from canon. On the other hand, NO STARKILLER!!!!! NO STARKILLER!!!! There's a reason that Force Unleashed has the acronym it has. It's how you feel after playing that game.


* you are cool if you get that.... in fact, I'll GIVE you a free copy of Sonic Generations on PC for being so cool!
