Speak not of the prequels, for they are evil. |
Games Editor Posts: 4238 Joined: 20 Dec 2005 | Say what you will about the prequels, but Ewan McGregor was a *fantastic* young Obi-Wan. |

Ewan McGregor is fantastic, period, the end. And to be fair, there is much to enjoy about the prequels. There is also much to loathe. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2693 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 | I actually like the prequels more. Before the flames are thrown let me say that the first Star Wars movie I ever saw was Episode I. |

We wanted to know why Anakin became Vader and it turns out he's a whiny man-bitch with abandonment issues. Lame. User was banned for: Mom Calls For Ban On Underworld. (Permanent) |

I didn't care a rats hindquarters about Anakin. Anyone who managed to make James Earl Jones sound stupid doesn't deserve to make a film. And that's way before midi-fecking-chlorians or Eesa-only-a-filmsa. I'm surprised the new Death Star didn't make a Shoop da Whoop noise. |

Abandonment issues? WTF are you talking about? He's got Everybody-I-ever-cared-about-is-dead issues. And he didn't whine about it, he got violent and killed a whole bunch of people. I don't see any "whiny man-bitch with abandonment issues" I see a fecking psycho. |

The problem was that Hayden Christensen did not portray him that way. Perhaps in the hands of a more skilled actor, Anakin would have been a torn personality, a tragic figure, slowly succumbing to the growing feelings of rage and protectiveness; however, with Mr. Christensen, all we got to see was about four hours of emo whining and glowers that would have looked better on Facebook. The reason I don't like the prequels is that they could have been so much better had some choices been made differently. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. We, the C-3POs of the world- the designated drivers, the bill-payers, the budget-checkers, the door-lock-double-checkers- thank you for the recognition. It's often a thankless job, but someone's got to do it. I wonder how many times Han locked the keys inside the Millenium Falcon and had to have Chewie get his spare set? |

Really? So I guessed you missed the whole 'Hey, did I hear you say can make wifey live forever, Mr Sith, sir? Golly, let me just lean over this table so you can take me now!', not to mention 'The other Jedi don't like meeeeeeee...' thing. User was banned for: Mom Calls For Ban On Underworld. (Permanent) |

Editor's Note: Star Wars
I grew up worrying about grade point averages and interest rates on loans, about property values and cholesterol levels. I learned about car insurance and office politics, security deposits and tax deductions. I wanted to be Han Solo, but instead I became C3P0.
