Why can't you people accept that CGI and flashy lightsaber fights will always be better then a coherent plot and likeable characters. Thats why CG kung fu Yoda will always be rembered as the best moment in Star Wars. Everyone has already forgoten about "Luke, I am your father." Star Wars is best when it caters to the pre-pre teen. Thats why the OT will never be as good as the PT. If the PT had been made in 1980 there would be no Jar Jar, kid Anakin to save the day or cartoon noises. It's depressing to think of a Star Wars movie without Jar Jar or cartoon noises........

I am going to assume that you are either satirizing gushers or are completely high off of smoking crack.

I ACCEPT IT!!! HALLELUJAH! I SEE THE LIGHT (or at least the over-glossy CGI light---you know, the kind with all of the little light refractions)!!! THE PT'S ARE BETTER THAN THE OT! How could I have been so stupid after all these years!! Save me, Lucas!!

Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"
All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

Umm... So just attempting to read the "what kind of language was he spelling in" gave me an indication that this guy has no clue. I like Star Wars, even the prequels, but to say they were better than the originals does not add up. The prequels for me were like a geek moment of nostalgia. It made me feel good I got to see Star Wars movies in the theaters, even though they were not as good as the original (I wasn't even born yet in 1977 and a toddler by the time the others came out). As far as Jar Jar goes that thing needed to get lightsabered, shot, exploded, destroyed, smashed, choked, slammed, and anything else destructive that could have happened to him. Crack kills people and so does bad plotting.

Yeah no kidding. Come on people.
However I have to disagree with the sarcasm. The Prequels rocked over the original movies. Remember the first one, wgere they spent an hour on Tatooine and nothing good happened? Just a lot of talking and character setup? In THE PHANTOM MENACE, they spend an hour on Tatooine, only this time there's a pod race! Yippee!
"I had a lot of different ideas. At one point, Luke, Leia and Ben were all going to be little people, and we did screen tests to see if we could do that." -George Lucas, in STAR WARS: the Annotated Screenplays (p197).

Jake Lloyd's performance moved me to tears on several occasions.
Yeah, The Phantom Menace is by far my favorite Star Wars movie. Jar Jar Binks, the most popular character, was introduced in this wonderful installment. Cudos to true Star Wars fans! Now bow down and kiss StarWarsIsUs's feet.
