Just thought I would let you know that I am still working on some more SWPAS icons for you!

First I just want to say, I am still and always will be a true Star Wars fan. All of the saga (Not only ep. IV, V, VI, But I, II, and III as well) I still can’t understand all the Hatred that goes towards the Prequels. They all had weak moments, but overall they really were great films. Yes Ep I was (In my Opinion) not the greatest, but the themes and yes the overall movie worked. Yes I hate Jar-Jar (Who Dosen’t) However to let one semi- Regular CGI Dork destroy a whole saga is just – Stupid. I loved ep II There was a lot of good in this movie, OK the love scenes were awkward, but they were part of the story. Remember this saga is the Tragedy of Anakin. Not all about just Darth Vader. IN ep II The battle of Jango and Obi-Wan. Amazing. Learning about the clones and there development, is really fascinating. It anwers a lot of question I have always had. The Arena battle, when have we seen so many Jedi? that leads into the start of the Clone Wars. I don’t know about most of you, but I have been waiting for the clone wars since 1977. It was a very good movie and an important addition to the Star Wars saga. Ep III well I couldn’t find fault with it at all. TO me this was the most important movie in the whole saga. It answered every question I had since the Star Wars saga began. Truly an awesome movie. Now I think a lot of So-called Fans do not like the Preqels, simply put they were not the Originals. They were completely different, That upset a lot of fans. I think if they were just like the Originals, it would have been silly. The Preqels stand as their own saga, and the Originals stand as their own saga. If people can’t accept the Prequels that is their problem. I really Loved them and I always will.
Sincerley 41 Year old Original Star Wars fan, and yes I am Married, and the family Loves the Movies.

Disagree on a few points, I did not think Jar Jar was not a CGI dork and the Love scenes were not awkward at all :/ Otherwise well said

What I have has to do with, unfortunately, the darth media parts of the updates. IGN.com just recently had an article talking about movie failures, where the movies they mention should’ve remained as trailers. One of those movies was, yes, you’ve guessed it, TPM. Because of that, I decided to completely boycott ign.com. Just something I thought I’d let you guys know. By the way magsky2009, I actually don’t hate Jar Jar (in fact, I actually like him), so how does that prove your statement that nobody likes him?

Love the prequels and I’m trying to rewrite them all using only limerick verses.

Hey guys, I actually run a blog dedicated to Star Wars needlework (cross stitch, embroidery, etc). I’ve done a few pieces based on the prequels and after checking out your site we’ve started Prequel Appreciation Fridays to coincide with the Clone Wars airings. Anyone interested can check it out here: http://wp.me/p1vwyi-1O

Hi,
maybe some of you enjoy tabletop RPGs as much as I do. If so, you may also know that Fantasy Flight Games, designers of the excellent Warhammer RPG, have bought the Star Wars license and are releasing a trilogy of roleplaying games. At first I was hugely excited about that, but now that more information has been released I am disappointed to find that FFG have chosen to cater very clearly and obviously to the in-their-fourties “only the OT exists” crowd. Am I paranoid about this or am I right to be grumpy about this? Check the product page here:

I don’t play RPGs but I have seen the product announcements that obviously ignore the prequel era. Different day, same well, you know.

Too bad… Nostalgia has clouded their vision. I showed the entire SW saga chronologically to my girlfriend who had not yet seen the older films and afterwards she said her favourites were Episode III and Episode VI and she particularly liked the story of Anakin’s downfall and ultimate redemption.

I am a middle aged scifi fanatic who reads as much hard scifi as I watch mainstream scifi. I am a huge supporter of the prequels and Jar Jar Binks. The backlash against the prequels exists mainly because it became hip to do so back in 1999. Classic generation fans were basically angry that Lucas had kicked over their sandcastle by trying to inject some level of scifi world building and political intrigue not contained at the same level in the classics unless one read the tie-in novels to fill in the gaps. I could go on for pages regarding detailed analysis of why this is but I am sure it has been done elsewhere . Classic Star Wars was groundbreaking for its time so anything coming after it would be considered derivative. At its basic level however is a simplistic fairy tale with as much wooden acting and dialogue as the prequels, Sir Alec Guiness aside, only Harrison Ford has had a successful career while the prequels have produced Natalie Portman, Ewan McGreggor, (Liam Neilson , Samuel Jackson) . Jar Jar became a media punching bag that haters could really dig to find fault with as the scapegoat to launch the hater’s revolution. Jar jar is essentially no sillier than Chewbacca or an Ewok aimed at a children’s toy market. live with it. The prequels work better as a trilogy unto the,selves than the classics. One moment Leia and Luke are kissing then they are brother and sister…lets just wing it while the Dewey eyed world looks on in nostalgia. There are campaign efforts out there for Disney to dump CGI in favor of stop motion puppetry, which while the best that could be done for its time, is no more realistic looking than a current day Gollum or Caesar. Just because we may enjoy the quaintness of a Model T doesn’t mean we all need to drive PT cruisers. Lucas could do no right other than stop after episode 6. His prequels could have been Citizen Kane and the masses would have complained about a cgi rosebud. Take a better look at the prequels. There is a lot more there under the cgi surface than meets the candy eye.

Rob Martin, I agree with everything you’ve said!

I didn’t make this, so I wasn’t sure under the submission rules whether it would be okay to post it…but this is an awesome prequel-related meme. It made my day. http://cheezburger.com/7161608960
