Prequel Haters Gon Hate - But why? (BE nice...)

That's a very good point - I never thought of that! And I don't think it was mentioned before. Great job.

Reliah...THANK YOUUU!!! I'll admit, there is a bit of competition between IV and V for my top spot, but Revenge of the Sith is a definite 2nd/3rd placer, and by far the best one of the new trilogy! I feel like Anakin and Obi-Wan developed their characters considerably from II to III. Now don't get me wrong, Revenge is not perfect, but it is one of the greats. The only thing that could have made it more epic is if Liam Neison hadn't gotten into a wreck and was able to appear as Qui-Gon, as he had planned on doing.
Agreed.

There is also the effect the prequels had on gaming. I love games, though having no console of my own makes it difficult to play. Without the prequels, there would be no Old Republic, no Battlefront, no upcoming 1313.
I also LOVED the Force Unleashed game (at least the first one)and I think we owe the prequels for that as well...the Jedi Temple...the Jedi Purge...etc.

This is why my list is as follows: V, III, IV, VII, I, II.

The Lightsaber too was used only as a weapon of last resort, when someone took out their lightsaber you knew that shizzle was about to go down. That something really big was going to happen. For most of the time you never saw them
That is the beauty of a space opera
Compare this to the prequels. The Force is something that is never explored mystically or in depth. It is used constantly during battle scenes as opposed to being something grander and unknowable
The lightsaber is used constantly throughout the film. Nearly every single fight there is a lightsaber. Ask yourself if that is because George Lucas was using them artistically to explain something big was about to go down? Or was he using them simply because they looked cool
The prequels are basically this: "Lets include lots of shooting and action and flashy lights and explosion noises and that will make a good film." No.
That is the shallowness of someone who treats his audience like fools
There is no depth to the prequels. It is one thing after another after another with a poorly connected plot line and bright lights with loud noises put in between

...WOAH....
I'm inclined to agree with RiddleNox there I'm afraid. Ewan McGregor has his own set of rules regarding sexiness. If you ever saw Velvet Goldmine you would:
a) Agree with me wholeheartedly;
b) Wonder about my sexual orientation, or;
c) Both of the above.

I personally as a child loved the rather straightforward messages of Prequels. Not only they were full of action but also had wisdom that I was able to understand. I couldn't grasp the usually subtler teachings of OT when I was little; back then it was more like a somehow confusing and weird action movie. When I became older I started to appreciate them more, but I still have a lot of sentiment regarding Prequels.
I assume that really the fight between those who hate and those who like these 3 movies is in fact mostly a fight between two different generations. Both of the trilogies have got their flaws but they are both also pretty good.
That's just my opinion of course (:
(Also, Ewan McGregor. If nothing else, he's the reason to love Prequels.)
