Will Brooker Editorial Force.Net is good for something I guess

That is a brilliantly written piece on the subject. You can expect my review, while sharing similar themes, to be nowhere near as intelligently written. HOORAY!

Not at all... it's a great read. ![smile.gif](http://www.chefelf.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I like to think of my "Reasons to Hate" as a bridge between the two extremes:
Will Brooker's Brilliant Essays
...
Chefelf's Not-So-Brilliant "Reasons to Hate"
...
Rabid Prequel Bashers' Expletive Filled Rants

Where does Lucas find these people? I can't believe so many Star Wars fans are brainwashed

Nothing beats debating the validity of a really well written and well thought out essay with quotes like the following:
QUOTE
SW was created, written and directed by by Gary "holier than God" Kurtz, wah wah wah ..."
QUOTE
"How a man who sets out to do simply do this can receive soooo muuuch hate is beyond me."
There is nothing in that essay that implied "hate". Brooker wrote everything very carefully and spent plenty of time praising th emovies he loves (or loved). Sometimes fanboys read between the lines and get on the defensive a bit too much.

Great article. thanks for the link
Fascinating ambiguity: "I'm not sure why I love, it but it's terrific."
And that's a pretty long line for the kool-aid they dispense.

The PT is a wonderful SW history lesson, with a more complex plot than the OT, more interesting visuals (not just special effects) and a fascinating ambiguity. I'm very grateful for these movies, I've been in love with them all for years now, and I can't wait until the saga is completed, to see it the way it should be seen.
