Star Wars should have stopped with 3. The real 3. Return of the Jedi.
Even episode VI, "Return of the Jedi", had some bad portents for the future of Star Wars...burping jokes, cute widdle Ewoks...
As I put it when I first heard there would be prequels, "I've got a bad feeling about this".
Yep. To try and follow up is like trying to go back to High School.
