I feel so weird finding myself as the only one who thinks it was even worse than the prequels...

Well, I have to disagree with you for now then. But we watched the originals last week at home and will probably watch the prequels in the coming week or two so it will be interesting to compare.

Do bear in mind that I am making some allowances for the fact that when I saw the originals, I was in single digits age-wise.

I did the full star wars marathon with some friends a week or so before Episode 7 came out and I get why the prequels get so much hate. To me even with all the shortcomings in acting, dialogue and plot it had a feel of wholeness to it - I mean Lucas did plan all 6 of them as one story arc and it shows. The story makes sense. The one thing I could never stomach though was the abruptness with which Anakin changed allegiance, but even that had a solid build-up of his frustration and distrust.

Ep. 7 just felt hollow in that regard. I leave the door open to change my mind after rewatching, some time passes and/or some more movies come out.

btw single digits, lol.

EDIT: completely off-topic but we seem to have some upward movement, good luck to TERA I guess.
