I will hold on to my fond memories of seeing the original three in the theaters upon their release and ignore, as best I can, the rest of it until it is over and some Jedi Fan kills it.

I'm with you and Cadaverous Pallor. The Star Wars prequel is just plain bad. I was really excited to see Episode 1 but I was very disappointed. Both 1 & 2 are missing what the original series had but I can't quite put my finger on it.
And though I love special effects, too much special effects does not a movie make! You watch the original series and even though you can tell it's night CGI those effects they had were much more convincing some how.
My biggest complaint about the prequel series is I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE! I could care less about each and every character. I'm not drawn into their stories, I don't give a snot if they live or die. Not one of them sticks out at me and I can say I cheered for them. But the original series? Who doesn't love innocent Luke Skywalker, or what girl didn't want to be the butt kicking Princess Leia, swoon for Han Solo or wish you could speak Wookie??
I think the only amount of feelings I had for any character from the prequel was Jar Jar Binks. Tall, annoying, floppy, CGI faked, lame ass Jar Jar Binks.
So I'm not going to see Episope 3. Figure I'll wait to see it on HBO or something. I'd rather see the Lord of Rings Trilogy in Chinese played backwards than see Ep. 3.
