   The comments weren't aimed at you in particular. I was talking about the   
   fools who whined on and on when the Prequel movies were being released   
   because they couldn't comprehend that all the movies were always aimed at   
   kids, plus those who were too stupid to accept commonse sense answers to   
   questions they asked simply because it wasn't shown on screen in front of   
   their spoon-fed noses.

   The point is that the Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy aren't really   
   that much different ... most of the "problems" are simply caused by   
   people's change in perspective.
