No it wasn't. The complaints from the whiners about Episode I were due
to it be "boring" (as Lucas said they would) and because they didn't
like Jar Jar Binks (who is little different to the Ewoks or the droids'
banter) or the supposed racial steretypes (after whining there wasn't
enough "diversity" in the Original Trilogy).

No they don't. They may own the legal rights, but they did not create
the idea. I could own the Mona Lisa, but it would still be abhorrent to
any sane person if I was to draw a moustache and Harry Potter glasses
on it simply because *I* thought it looked better that way.

That's what DVDs are for.
There was absolutely no need at all to reboot or recreate the original
movies ... or *ANY* franchise - never was, is, never will be ... other
than Jar Jar Abrams' complete lack of creative talent, sheer laziness,
and over-bloated ego thinking he knew better than George Lucas (the guy
who actually had the talent to come up with the idea!).

Jar Jar Abrams' is a talentless, over-hyped cretin. Everything he
touches is a disastrous mess, and he then jumps ship when he gets bored
leaving others to try and tidy up the crap he leaves behind.
I certainly have never and will never pay to see his crap in a movie
theatre. I only bought the DVD of his Star Wars "reboot" to complete
the set, but regret doing that.
