Ah, damn.. good point. That would have been a better dick-move.

Indiana Jones 4 Was the worst. But I didn't hate the prequels. I think a lot of what was wrong with them was everyone knew pretty much everything that was going to happen. So the movies felt almost expected and done even though they hadn't been.

It's deeper than that. It was that they got to these "conclusions" horribly. Obi and anakin get all their 'friendship time" off screen. Vader turns to the dark side for stupid vague reasons given him by an obvious villain. Then when all is said and done, just because she shows up to the planet he goes to (after his horrific murder of children) with obi wan, he chokes his one great love to the point of death and we watch a 20 minute long light sabre fight....

Well, I think you see a few moments of good friendship, but not as much as there should be. Anyway, I'm glad you said that & didn't say 'They weren't friends!' which is what a lot of people seem to say.

well for starters Anakin was destined to turn to the darkside and The Jedi in all of there wisdom should have known that. The Prophecy should have been easily interpenetrated that bringing balance to the force meant the "thinning down" of The Jedi.

Anyways Anakin never showed true Jedi ability. He always kind of leaned to the Sith. He was far to emotional to ever be a true Jedi. The Emperor offered him a chance to save his wife. He didn't have the proper control to know any better. Or at least thats what I took from it. I would have loved to see their relationship build onscreen but all of the movies have years jumped in between them. Look at Luke from A New Hope to Empire. He has had some small minimal training and then boom hes a Jedi Knight. Would have loved to see more of his development on screen but im ok with it the way it was. The only thing I thought was dumb is he choked the person he was trying to save. That isn't a huge thing though because he ws consumed by the dark side by that time and as mentioned above he was always emotionally unstable.

Neither of them is interesting for me

But thats my point. Lucas went in a horrible direction with the prequels. An example is that in the OT obi wan said anikin was a good friend, we dont really get to see that as anikin seems to ***** at and about obi wan to padmae half the time. And i dont see why she fell in love with him, she saw the same shit the jedi council saw and as they did ignored it. Lucas doesnt know how to write characters apperently. The main flaw is the entire prophecy aspect of it. The core of that is this medicholian count. Botched the entire mystical aspect of the force. Not to mention that yoda specifically said jedis only use their skill for defense and never attack, and yet the jedi's seemed eager to join in on hte war.

Both awful, but I'd say the Prequels are worse. I literally forget about IJ4 until it's brought up. The Prequels just won't die.
