I always like TPM, due in no small part to Darth Maul. AotC on the other hand...Also the first episode of the Mortis Trilogy is good the other two are lame.
TPM's high points were Ray Park as Maul, and Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon. Everything else was substandard.
AotC had some high points. Jango is far more interesting than Boba and badass as well, Obi-Wan is more fleshed out, and the ability to see characters fight like Dooku and Yoda was a huge highlight.
RotS had some glow sticks. Yeah.

Maul is one of the most dull characters in the whole of SW. He's a man shaped object with a lightsaber. He's just a physical extension of Palpatine, a tool, an attack dog.
And Vader was no better in ANH. If anything, Tarkin was far more interesting and sinister by comparison.
But Maul's chief appeal is his dark, violet nature. The lack of dialogue made him stronger than other villains, because it left so much to the imagination. And Ray Park's martial prowess really helped sell the combat. I'm hoping his re-emergence in the cartoon shows him doing some beat downs.

I'm not looking forward to seeing how they bring him back. He got chopped in half and fell down a ****ing bottomless shaft in pieces.
... And Simus lived as a head.
At this point, "stretching it" left with dignity a long time ago.
On the flip side: Moar about ME 3 Multiplayer!

TotJ is one of the weakest parts of the star wars mythos, minus Exar Coooon's arc.

That's waissist!
Lucas in the TPM commentary, "I had him be cut in half to show that he is dead for good, that he won't be coming back"
GL: Han shot first.
Pod People: Join us! BLARGH!
GL: Ackk.... ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. GREEDO SHOT FIRST.
Pod People: Praise Xenu!

The dude has a doctrine named after him that basically translates into "scare the shit out of people and you won't have to necessarily blow up their homelands like I've done before". And he coined that one while landing his ship on civilian protesters. Plus he ordered the destruction of Alderaan with far less effort than I can throw out an order at Burger King. If he's not the personification of evil, I can't rightly explain why he tells Vader what to do in any other context.
Also Han is the biggest badass. Vader is second.
SW Hierarchy of Badass:
1. Bandon
2. Han Solo
3. Marka RagnosDarth Revan, the God and Father
4. Obi-Wan Kenobi
5. Exar Kun
6. King "I used my battleaxe to drive off an alien race that can harness the power of suns" Adas
7. Tulak "lolspamsithritual" Hord
8. Mace Windu
9. Yoda (Actually, in terms of kindness AND badassery, Yoda takes top)
10. Count Dooku

Tarkin blew up a planet. Out of spite. And as we all know, genocide is badass.
Yeah but he was also like 'Impossible! Nothing can stop me no-BOOM!' :deathstarexplodes:
Plus he's a balding 60 year old. He doesn't have the physical presence needed to be all that badass.

Apparantly you guys are mistaking 'evil *******' and 'nazi *******' for 'badass.'
One of these things is not like the others!

1. He's British. Therefore, he gains immediate Dark Side points regardless of job class and feats selected.
2. He has the boniest face in the world. It's like Skeltor mated with Ian Flemming.
3. He holds Vader's leash, presumably in the bedroom as well as out of it.
