None of the Star Wars prequels or sequels can hold a candle to the originals. Just don't understand why Lucas sat on it for so long. Should have let Spielberg or Cameron directed.

The prequels absolutely sucked toenail fungus (OK, the 3rd one was somewhat great, with Yoda kicking butt and all). Even the Family Guy parodies were better.

That part is easy — Lucas himself said that it was impossible to put what he saw in his head onto the bih screen given the tech of the time.

He always felt like he over-compromised on IV, V and VI.

The drop-off over time between that and I, II and III was GHASTLY! And TFA was not only the worst SW movie of them all it was one of the worst movies of ANY genre EVER made.

I have a a review I write that clearly explains why VII sucked and how it is just a copy of IV if you would care for me to post it.

I only saw two or three. My best moment was seeing the effect of going to light speed.

To be fair, Lucas really couldn’t let Spielberg or Cameron direct due to his not being a member of the Screenactors Guild and in fact banned from that organization.

But yeah, I see your point. And honestly, I have some more... outrage towards Lucas for something he pulled, which was essentially tricking his entire audience into rooting for the Vietcong via the Rebels and Ewoks and root against America via the Empire. I’ll never forgive him for that.
