GOOD STAR WARS:Banthas (cause they look kick ass)
BAD STAR WARS:Bogas (cause they're a cartoon)
Now don't cry...it doesn't mean I hate Bogas.
I don't get how people don't like the PT, its Star Wars, as much as the OT is Star Wars.
The PT lacks everything that made Star Wars good in the first place. It lacks the feeling of adventure, the metaphorical Jedi teachings, the symbolic purpose, the good plot and the good acting. Hell, minus a couple scores the music was dissapointing.
The PT was terrible. Instead of it being a story of adventure, it was a story of ridiculous politics and over-the-top spFX action scenes. ROTS was decent because of its LOL SABER FIGHTZ, but that's about it.
IMO it's
1. Star Wars: A New Hope
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. The Phantom Menace
6. Attack of the Clones.

OK...all star wars films have crappy dialogue, poorly developed characters, slow plots, and are all about spFX. apparently you dont remember that ANH was all about the spFX. It invented the spFX blockbuster.
The PT and OT are different trilogies. Apparently you don't remember how political the OT was...post apocalyptic grunge industrial imperialsm? Its showed the world as a duty truth, that here in "the future" the world is real, no stainless steel walls and zippy spacecraft, rotting dirty junk. THe rise of the "rebels" (post-vietnam counterculture vs an opressive overmilitarized semi-fascist government). Our hero: the little desert farmboy, a populist counterculture "simple-life" kid who makes it. It was never "just an adventure story" Thats a disrespect to Star Wars The OT was perfect for its time and was all about the politics of the late 70s and early 80's.
The PT is the OT evolved/grown up. Things arent black and white anymore. This isn't some childhood rebellion. The PT is about growing up. This is the 21st century. We are discussing a neo-romantic movement in the midst of overpoliticization, war, and the breakdown of cold war ideals. The PT is about greys. The jedi ideal that you prize from the OT don't work here. You cnat see good, wou can't see evil. Your trapped in a society where everything is planned where you aare destined to achieve an objective because you believe that to be true (Anakin's prophecy). Its about living in a destabilizing society. The PT is about complicated current sociopolitical theory.
If you'd like to talk more/back up more let me know...but you have really misjudged both the OT and the PT. Sorry for the book.
