I mean besides the obvious stupid shit like Jar Jar and minichoridans or whatever the hell Lucas pulled out of his arse when he was writing these things...
the prequels RUINED the character of Darth Vader. I used to always have this image in my head of Anakin being a headstrong yet wise young Jedi who just happened to be subtly seduced by the power of the dark side. It was supposed to be tragic and heartfelt. In the prequels, Darth Vader was reduced to a whiny, spoiled idiot who rolls around in grassy knolls with his girlfriend. I mean, he turned to the dark side mainly because of a bad dream. A bad dream! And on top of that, Palpatine never said he could save others from death, he said they'd have to work together to discover the secret. There was no guarantee, yet Vader became his apprentice anyways. I remember sitting in that theater with my mouth hanging open at Anakin's utter stupidity. THAT was the biggest sin the prequels committed in my eyes. Hardcore bad ass Darth Vader was actually just a giant stupid pusssy.
