The prequels just depress me, they could have been so good. For me the antics of episodes I and II could have been compressed into one film. Anakin could have become Darth Vader part way through the second film and we could have had a lot more screen time for Darth Vader.

Some of the story lines in the expanded universe and games, like The Force Unleashed, are better than the prequels

Episode III is the best of the prequels, but still has a lot of "box ticking" to make the prequels line up with the original trilogy and some how it still leaves lots of gaps.

I do find it interesting that the people who say it was just alright, not bad, 6 out of 10 kind of people, have literally focused on everything they didn't like.

Why not focus on what you did?

Sometimes it's hard to look past what you perceive as an monumental flaw. I hated Return of the Jedi because they rehashed the ending to A New Hope, I'm hardly going to be more forgiving that they did it a third time. There was a lot good about the movie. Loved the chap who played Fin, I think the direction they've taken the new Sith Apprentice is a stroke of genius and I was delighted to see real sets again.

Once I realized that the movie's primary conflict was going to be another showdown with a fragile deathstar, it sucked all the excitement out of it at a pretty key moment. I can't help it. The first half was good, it was original, and if it had stayed that course I would have been raving about it with the Ijjys of this world but, as it happened, it left me with the feeling of a lost opportunity.

The whole death star MkIII storyline was such a background secondary plot line for me throughout though, the real story is Ren and Rey, and it's fascinating.
