Poll: Are We Too Hard On Lucas?

[Richard Keohane]

I really don't understand what the cry is all about, imo the prequels were awesome.

Are you trolling, or serious?

If serious, please re-watch The Phantom Menace right now and then tell me what your favorite part was. I want some insight into the people who liked that movie.

If trolling, please try to find a more clever way to troll.

Maybe the podracing part or the space battle in the end. Also the Gungan vs droids fight on Naboo was cool.

Okay, so you enjoy the adrenaline-pumping special-effects extravaganzas. I can understand and respect that.

It's just different for me, since while the original trilogy had great special effects and some moments that get you pumped up, it also had a lot of suspense and character development that was missing in the original trilogy. A lot of us also feel that the consistent look of puppets and costumes made everything look better than CGI, so to us the prequels just look worse than the originals.

Does George Lucas deserve criticism for pretty much everything he's done since 1999? Yes. Does he deserve the raw, unforgiving hatred of millions of fanboys? No, but that's just the internet being the internet. Haters gonna hate, and Lucas should be grown up enough to realize that without going off to cry like a little *****.

The prequels would be sooo much better if these four things did not happen:
1.Jar Jar Binks
2.Overplayed love story
3.Midichlorians
4. Getting an actor who can actually act to be Anikan!

If these four things never happened then we would like the prequels soooo much more.

Saying his latest films have been shit is reasonable, saying he's got no talent isn't. He'd be fine if he got off whatever drugs he's been taking.

he has made alot of mistakes but, honestly we wouldn't have the original trilogy to complain about him changing if it werent for him. think about it though what movies will you show you kids and say it was part of your childhood? and it could all be fixed if say the blu-rays had the original, the first refit, and his last send out. im just saying dont forget he made the movies in the first place give him credit for that.
