When TFA came out we went back and re-watched all 6 movies. Here were her criticisms of the prequels: - There was no character to root for. (protagonist) - The characters were boring and had no personality - The plot was too political and a lot of times didn't make any sense - Jar Jar Binks is the most annoying character in the history of film Sure, when she was 4 Jar Jar was hilarious. Now that her skull is fully hardened she sees what the vast majority of Star Wars fans see. There is a way to make the films fun for little kids and still satisfy the adult audience. I think they did a good job with TFA. "Dark" Vader is what made the original series so cool to her when she was 4, not the Ewoks. Real characters and a decent plot also helped. BTW - She was laughing at how "whiny" Luke was in ANH - I agree |

Luke was always whiny, even back in the 70's.
If TFA had been made by any other studio than Lucasfilms, it would have sued for plagiarism. |

Agreed on the plagiarism. That's what makes VIII so critical to the franchise. They can't copy Empire and they can't go near the prequels with a political plot unless it's a really good plot. (fingers crossed)

I viewed it as a reboot. Kind of like that first new Star Trek movie with the altered timeline. I was OK with it because I really did not like the prequels.
