   There are tons of things that doesn't "fit", but that isn't the main   
   problem with the wreck that is the prequels. It's the lack of story,   
   characters, pacing and special effects that's the problem.

   Yes, that was his problem.

   Uh, George Lucas didn't know what made the "franchise" what it was, that's   
   why we got the prequel mess.

   Ideas are one thing, and in 20 years, he had run out of good ideas as well.   
      
   > Whether he actually makes the movies or someone else does isn't relevant   
      
   Uh, yeah it is - since all the movies he has made save one has been utter   
   garbage, it's a clear sign that it's pretty relevant.

   What he supposedly "knows" is of no concern to me, the movie-goer. He made   
   three prequel-movies that weren't even a faint shadow of the original   
   trilogy.   
      
   Instead of listing the million things wrong with the prequels, I'll list   
   what was good about them:   
      
   1. The music   
   2. Less Jar Jar in two movies   
   3. There is no third point
