I like the whole prequel trilogy, despite their many flaws. Like them, love them, hate them, the prequels gave us new characters like Darth Maul, Count Dooku, General Grievous and Mace Windu.

There's a lot to like about each and every Star Wars film IMO.

It's true, we shouldn't ridicule someone for claiming Episode 1 as their favorite in the saga, but my personal reaction to such a statement is shock. But maybe that's because I grew up with the originals, back when the backstory seemed so epic and mysterious.

Episode 1 took away a lot of the wonderment in the series, thanks to seeing young Anakin, who apparently is Jesus and he built his own protocol droid, complete with a British accent (cuz he's classy like that), builds pod race cars and drives them, which no other human can, and is the most powerful Jedi ever, thanks to the overwhelming abundance of Midochlorians found in his blood stream.

Here I thought all those years, Anakin was a Jedi who lost his way. The prequels made it all too clear that he was just this crazy-unique God being who I guess couldn't handle his own awesomeness, so he lost his mind and tried to kill everyone, except Palpatine, cuz he's cool and always believed in him.

The moral of the story is to be weary of those who believe in you and don't try to be Jesus. It's not worth the headache. Just chillax, like Obi Wan and Yoda. Meditate. Chop your best friend's limbs off. Oh wait, don't do that. It'll just piss him off.
