Thanks for writing this. The prequels don't need defending, though, really. They are what they are. If you like them, it doesn't make you an idiot, and if you disregard them, it doesn't make you any smarter.

Okay, wow. That's one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. You realize he created all of this? He's a visionary filmmaker and a visual genius. His talent is lacking in scriptwriting and directing but calling him untalented? Wow, that's just wrong.
