The movies are un-watchable for anyone with an IQ over 40.

So many absurdities and contradictions...just a couple to consider:

1) How could Annakin become a Jedi after he exhibited his murderous rage against the Sandpeople...women & children too? Did Obi Wan just let that slide?

2) How could all the mystical & powerful Jedi geniuses not have a frikkin clue for 10+ years about Palpatine being the evil dark lord?...oh right..the dark side clouds everything...well how frikkin convenient for Lucas!

Firely and Serenity are for grown-ups....Star Wars was originally too, but the Lucas gang ( especially the last 4 episodes) only cared about special effects...they forgot little things like writing, plot, characters, logic & common sense, ...and the whole mess deteriorated into something not even worthy of Saturday morning cartoons.

I understand where you're coming from; lots of people were upset about the prequels. But there are an awful lot of Star Wars fans out there who feel every bit as strongly about their world as we do about ours. Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion, but I wonder how you would react if someone said these sorts of things about Firefly?

Casual ...I'm more than willing and able to engage in any rational and intelligent debate about what I posted....and if anyone wants to post negative about Firefly in comparison to Star Wars I welcome that debate as well.

1) How could Annakin become a Jedi after he exhibited his murderous rage against the Sandpeople...women & children too? Did Obi Wan just let that slide?

I think he was given alot of forgiveness due to the fact that he was the one that was supposedly to bring balance to the force. Also I don't think obi wan knew about Anakin killing the sand people, I think the only one that he told about that was Padme.

2) How could all the mystical & powerful Jedi geniuses not have a frikkin clue for 10+ years about Palpatine being the evil dark lord?...oh right..the dark side clouds everything...well how frikkin convenient for Lucas!

Yea, exactly like you said, the dark side is cloudy, they knew there was a dark lord somewhere, but palpatine was very skilled at concealing himself. That's one of those things where you need the suspension of disbelief, it's been stated that the dark side clouds things, so you have to take that as truth in this universe.

that being said, I will agree with you that the prequel trilogy was definitely not up to the standards of the original trilogy, they definitely put more effort into creating special effects than they did in creating good story. I've definitely seen worse movies, but yea they weren't great.

"Haha, mine is an evil laugh."

If you wanted a rational debate, why is this thread called "Star Wars is the absolute worst" rather than "Inconsistencies in Star Wars" or some such? And why do you insult the intelligence of Star Wars fans in your post? If you truly want "rational and intelligent debate" I would think that you would strike a much more moderate tone. No, I think you just wanted to bash the prequels because Lucas let you down. And if that's your bag, fine. The point of my post was not to engage you in "intelligent debate"--it was to encourage you to be a little more sensitive to the fact that some people actually like Star Wars--just like you like Firefly. I imagine you'd be pretty offended if someone spoke that way about Firefly; I was trying to exhort you to follow the principle of reciprocity. My post was hortatory in nature; sorry if that wasn't clear.

btw...It's "CaUsal" actually, with the "U" before the "S".

Evil Dino....I believe Obi Wan knows about the killing of the Sandpeople because he reminds Padme that she told him about it when he is trying to convince her that Annakin is now evil.

Suspension of belief...well that's a concept that all Americans have had to develop in our daily lives these last 6 years....Didn't Yoda tell Luke on Dagobah that the Dark Side was not any stronger than the Good Side, just easier?

Good stuff....you folks here at FFF are awesome!

Causal ( see, I got it right)...I couldn't title it any other way to voice my utter disappointment with where that franchise went. The beauty of opinions is that everybody has one, and I wasn't really looking for, or for that matter expecting any hostile rebuttal amongst FFFans. Guess I made a bad assumption.

Here's my thing, I loved the three originals that I first saw about four years ago and then the prequels. I enjoyed them all but couldn't really bear to watch the prequels again...

No hostility, all just folk here

.
And the prequels sucked. With a few scene exceptions they are nigh unwatchable.
The original three, now that was a standard Lucas was unable to live up to.

Luke is da man Chrisisall

I agree with Kelai. Just the actors couldn't sell the new ones.
