Awesome. So what to get with 9 quarters. First thing is definitely the Dr. Pepper...so that is 8 quarters. With my last quarter....I guess I will take the Topkek to go with my Dr.Pepper. A good late night snack any day of the week.

Phantom Menace was bad, not gonna defend the movie as a whole, but the things to break down are
1. Jar Jar fuck wit was a character of significant importance unlike C3P0, he wasn't a plugged in there character, he served a purpose. Also Sith lord theroy
2. Of all the Characters in Star Wars Obi-Wan has become mine, and many others, favorite because of how well the prequels portrayed him. Luke was a pair of pants, a good pair, but a pair none the less. I only began to care for him in The Return of the Jedi, it toke 3 movies for me to care for a character. Anakin on the other hand was a cunt, he was an annoying kid, an emo teenager and stupid adult, despite that i cared to see where he would go, what would become of this lil prick to turn him into Darth Vader and Episode 3 did a fucking amazing job of why. Point i'm making is characters where slightly better in prequels I would point out the good ones of the original trilogy but all you fanboys already know that
3. The star wars world was best portrayed in the prequels which lead way to even more and IMO better EU.
4. Also the prequels may have contained the The Phantom wreck but both the clone wars and especially the Revenge of the Sith where good stand alone but also helped improve the Original trilogy. Some opinions will vary depending on whether or not you before knowing Vader or not.
Tl DR Nostalgia is a dangerous thing and you should not let it lead cloud your judgement. Revenge of the Sith best movie

The thing is, whether or not you analyze the crap out of a movie, the story, structure etc, what really matters is if you are having a good time watching it. And even though the prequals have some amazing lightsaber battles, the rest of the movies are boring bullshit that makes one fall asleep. I watched the two first prequals before the original trilogy when I was a kid, and I loved the originals while I thought the prequals were boring. In other words, the prequals should be nostalgic to me, not the originals, but I knew what movies were exciting or not.

I agree that Revenge is the best prequal though.

they SHOULD to a reset. with the prequels at least. they dun goof'd when they didn't make darth maul the main baddie of all 3 prequels then it would have been consistent.
originals: darth vader
prequels: darth maul
sequels: kylo ren

I watched a few episodes, couldn't get into it knowing how many episodes there are

I like the prequels, something about the politics and the different worlds and spaceships and unique aliens is super satisfying. Palpatine is a fucking boss though, and the prequels made him my favorite character.

gotta say, i like palpatine and i like the actor very much too, but i think they fucked up the "scarred" post-lightning palpatine visually (also the voice was a bit off directly after the incident)

but like with all the hobbit fanedits you just notice that those versions are extremely cut, mainly because of "empty" (yes even more than the full versions) dialogue and sudden scene changes, especially with interrupted sound
