I really don't understand why it's become so vogue to bash the Star Wars prequels. I also don't understand why everyone expects so much from Lucas. These movies are made for kids. Maybe now that all of the first trilogy kids are older and hardened by the world they simply cannot relate to the fantasy of Star Wars. I found AOTC to be incredibly intense. I think I would've enjoyed it more had I not read the early reviews (which bashed it of course). Many of the things I enjoy in the original trilogy as an adult I simply didn't get as a little kid. I cherish being able to remember and appreciate all of the things I enjoyed as a kid.

Perhaps the last 20 years of wannabe Star Wars movies killed the magic for most people. Which is sad. I'll be the first to admit these movies aren't the pinnacle of movie making. But then that was never the point. The point was to create a space fantasy with it's own mythology and history and have it suitable for people of all ages. It has symbols of love, friendship, family, good vs. evil, mentors and manipulators. And it also has spaceships, shoot-outs, rescues, humor, angst, and dare I say romance.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of the Star Wars fantasy.
