    Personally I don’t get the hate for the prequels... maybe it’s my age? I was 8 when The Phantom Menace came out in 1999 and I adored them all, my favourite films of the entire franchise were Episodes 1 & 2 and I wished there was room for 6 prequel films rather than 3, the reason it felt bodged in my opinion versus the others was they tried to cover in 3 films what they should have done in 6! Episode 4 A New Hope should have been Episode 7 in my opinion!!!

    i also hate the fact that just about every game ignores the use of clones and the separatists! Star Wars Commander... nothing, Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2 (the new ones) - nothing! I need a clone based fix that doesn’t mean buying something that’s 15 years old!!!

    i wish there was a decent toy of the Venator Class Cruiser as well.... love that!

    what do you all think?

    I really don't get the hate either. People are allowed to like what they like. My opinion is this: If it doesn't hurt anyone, it doesn't matter what you like.

    Hell, look at me, I catch a lot of flack for being a Brony, especially since I'm 32 years old.

    Also, for your clone fix, the new SW Battlefront 2 multiplayer has Clone Vs Separatist action.

    I can partially agree with you (not to say your opinion is unwarranted that is.) though we all know how we should never let Jucas write the scripts again (TPM), but the Clones and Separatists were great additions to the Star Wars universe. I would have to agree with you on that part. I still dislike most of the prequels except for all the amazing clone wars battles and lightsaber duels.

    thanks for sharing your opinion, happy life day and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

    The prequels were ok. No George Lucas isn't a very good director but at least his scripts were original and not remakes and for that reason alone I like them a lot more than The Force Awakens. I haven't watched The Last Jedi yet because, due to The Force Awakens, I'm anticipating another huge disappointment.


    Of course this is just my opinion.
    Merry Christmas to all.

    I don't hate the prequels. I don't love them either though. Then again, I wasn't exactly in awe of the originals either.
    And while I considered Rogue One to be a breath of fresh air, it still was an OK movie at best.

    I love the Star Wars universe, and of course the movies have their role in setting up the stage for that. But generally speaking, the scripts and the character building are usually fairly lackluster to me. It's the universe and the concepts inherent to Star Wars that make it great for me.

    I didn't like The Force Awakens that much. I mean, it was an OK movie, but felt like A New Hope with 2015 makeup on.
    But would I tell people not to watch them? Nah, they're decent movies. And it might get them interested in the Star Wars universe as a whole.

    I quite like the new stuff, but I can see everyone’s thinking like it’s the emperors new robes, I mean who even is Supreme Leader Snoak and where did he come from? All of a sudden we have a character with no back story and no ideas at all what happened to his face!

    Moderator note: I've added a SPOILER tag to this thread, so that it won't appear in the Activity Stream, since it's possible we'll get the occasional mention of the new/latest films compared to 1 - 6.

    Personally I enjoyed TPM, AOTC and ROTS but I'm only 24 so I grew up with these three. I still really like 4, 5 and 6. 7 was an alright film and 8 was fantastic - but the lack of background for the New Order makes me feel sad. At least we had the introduction of 'something' to do with the bad guys in previous Star Wars films.

    I love AOTC! The big scene at the end where everybody lands into the battlefield and deploys is my favourite set of scenes of the entire Star Wars Saga for me - I remember watching it in the cinema and being so excited as it unfolded I nearly wet my pants hahahaha I quite like the new ones but I do think they severely lack imagination and where they have tried to be creative sometimes it’s cheapened the franchise especially between Luke & a bad guy in the final part of the film (my attempt at averting a spoiler there!) however the hyperspace jump through the star destroyers is by far one of the best pieces of cinema I’ve seen yet!!!

    I wish that there was an ability to become clones or Separatists in Star Wars Commander (my other mobile game asides from Timelines I live on religiously!) and the new battlefront is so heavily focused on the 4-6 movies it totally dodges the prequels and Darth Maul is a great bad guy that’s totally underused!

    By the way.... is there anything in the rumour mill for SWTOR becoming free to play on console at all? I’d love that!

    Oh dear I sense the beginning of the end then perhaps for SWTOR or perhaps they could even do a clone wars MMO? They’ve done a Original Trilogy one and they’ve done a Old Republic one but not a clone wars one! (I can pray!)

    I very much enjoyed the prequels. I dont understand the hate either. Now even today they are saying the prequels are better then what disney is making, which makes me chuckle a bit. "Oh now they are ok... *snickers*"

    I'm a big fan of Clone Wars personally myself. Battlefront 2 classic (2005) one has clones. Star wars republic Commando is a great game if you like clones (follows a special forces unit). Star Wars Empire at War (RTS) is pretty good as well has clone era ships/units etc, and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Sage is decent (looks and feels like AoE with star wars skin).

    Here are couple that I play for time to time.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh not really clone related but N64 podracing game is amazing. I wish they would update it to newer systems.

    Having a console makes it difficult cause they’re all bloody awful except from the original battlefront! Are any of the others console games? And I read that one commentator had written that the prequels were better and I did find it amusing!!!

    Here is my problem with the prequels:

    1. They decided CGI was better than actual sets, which it's not. Of course, there is SOME need for CGI, but those films took it to extremes.
    2. Jar Jar Binks. Worst Star Wars character in history. They wanted someone who would appeal to kids, which he did for the most part. The problem was that the Star Wars fan base was not much older and did not accept a "Barney the Dinosaur" character in the movies.

    OK, now for the upside:

    1. While, yes, there were a few plotholes, we did get to travel back and see where it all began, so to speak.
    2. We got to see how Annakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, the greatest Star Wars character in history.

    What I'm basically saying is it's not as much the stories themselves were horrible, but more how they were made and the introduction of totally unnecessarily annoying characters like Jar Jar Binks ruined them for a lot of people. Personally I do not hate them. I do strongly dislike things about them (like Jar Jar Binks) but I do not hate them.

    P.S. I'm 57 years old (for another week). That may help in understanding my perspective.
