I don't know how old you are, but I remember when Star Wars came out. Everybody went nuts over it, not just little kids. I was 11, and had to practically be dragged to see it by one of my friends, just because I thought it would just be another stupid space movie.

The first movie was filled with kids. All of Anakin's little buddies.

He was also a real, serious character with a legitimate role.

He wasn't ****ing Jar Jar.

The "love story" was incredibly hard to buy.

They need to pattern any new Star Wars after the animated series, which is darker.

Originally, he was going to show how Anakin's age, stubborness, undisciplined lifestyle would lead him down the path of the Dark Side. It was supposed to be a dark, slippery slope and more of a fable or morality tale.

Instead, due to all of the criticism of TPM, he later changed it to be about his love for Padme. It was ridiculous and I actually think that AOTC is worse than Return of the Hairy ****ing ****rags.

I'll defer to the die-hards on this one.

It just does not seem like a $4 billion property to me.
