Lets be blunt. The Star Wars Prequels sucked!

Lets be more blunt. If those original three films were not made, and “Phantom Menace” came out it would have made no money and no additional movies would have ever seen the light of day.

The three prequels are like horrible scars that have been put onto the “Star Wars” name and have forever damaged the original trilogy.

I was curious myself to see if Lucas still had something to say when he was coming back to direct “Phantom Menace” some 20 years after his last directing effort “Star Wars”. And the fact of the matter is he really had nothing to say. He just wanted to make a quick dollar off a franchise that had run its course. And a quick dollar he made. A few billion to be exact. Talk about milking something for all its worth. Lucas was all to willing to exploit something so precious to his financial gain that along the way he failed to realize what a damaging effect the prequels would have on the memory of the original trilogy.

After directing “Star Wars” in 1977 Lucas had a nervous breakdown and pretty much vowed he would never direct again. He should have stuck to that promise and done us all a favor. Anyone who tries to make an excuse for “Star Wars Prequels” is only in denial or they don’t realize what made the original three so special. They don’t understand that type of magic can’t be recaptured with CGI or with some hollow attempt to rehash something that shouldn’t have been brought back in the first place.

please stop defending the un-defendable. It is just sad at this point.
