Exactly, people want to care now because they know Jar Jar and they want to hate him and Lucas for everything and I don't get it.

I don't see why people look at the original Star Wars with such "rose glasses" as if they are the ultimate expression of pure art. Look no one as seen the first 3 Star Wars as much as me, I love Star Wars and I can see just how cheesie the first 3 movies are. Little robots making little stupid noises, one liners that seem to have been written by a 5 year old, monsters burping after eating little monsters, little furry bears destroying the best legions in the galaxy....it's full of these moments, no different then the prequels. Yet everyone just ignore this and bash the prequels and complaint that Lucas as change. Seriously I don't see how he's change, he is doing stuff the same way with the sole exception that he as now more money and he as the technology to make it bigger then before.

It's the same for the Indy movies, little one liners, a kid being funny, a whiny lounge singer, a university teacher who's never been out in the world, a goofy museum caretaker....where is the difference with Indy 4? You have the same impossible and goofy cheesie elements in all 4 movies. But once again everyone keep's looking at the first 3 with "rose glasses" as if they are perfect.
