This may not be very current. But here goes. I thought there was no real smugglers and villans in these episodes. There was a few Bounty Hunters, but the character that was most missed in these was of course, Han Solo. Talk about stating the obvious!!! But when it comes down to it there was too much official folk in these films and not enough of the real person caught up, just trying to get by. Which made the whole thing a struggle between political dogmas and not very rooted in real emotions. After all in the original treatment for the first films Han Solo and Obi Wan Kenobi , where the same person.
Meaning, there wasnt a 'Han type' character in the Prequels i guess, and i agree they're should of been, or a more diverse bunch of characters. Now with the Original Trilogy you had the witty smuggler, damsel in distress, goofy farmboy, the old wizard, and the droid comedy duo - all these kind of stereotypes if you will, and it makes for a more interesting story when you put all these different characters together and make them interact. It would of been nice to see more of this in the Prequels, for me personally

The fact that there was "Not enough of the real person caught up" is a major disappointment for me with the PT, as was most of it (by and by, I simply do not care about it anymore).
Airhead Jedi simply can't emit the amount of cynical bollocks needed to fulfill the slot of antagonism; they tried Ewan McGregor, but it's a different effect when you give the cocky remarks to an impassive and detached character.
nevertheless, i love the saga on the whole it still felt like star wars when i watched the PT (Even though i started as an Old Trilogy fan) i guess i dont have a bad thing to say about it - simple as. Greatest Saga Ever -

A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
