I don't agree, but I honestly do respect prequel fans a lot in the sense that the movies they describe are actually totally great. They're really spot-on in identifying what the movies were trying to do and how that would have added up into a great movie. Taking a really in-depth look at the politics of the late republic would be really interesting.

The problem I always have is that I just don't see the same stuff actually on the screen. But, you know, that's me.

This is kind of how I feel about Prequel haters. Like, I get it. I can see the plotlines of the movie and how the story works. But I think Lucas didn't make everything blindingly obvious. It requires you to pay attention to little tiny details in order to see the entire story (like, some of Palpatine's manipulations are only hinted at with a single line). They were enough for me, but I get that they weren't for a lot of people.

I just died laughing. I hope you're happy.

Okay? I mean, the basic story was very obvious. But there were subtle bits. Like single lines that made clear that Palpatine had been manipulating more people for longer than might be obvious. And exactly what Palpatine's plans were (see a comment I made above for what steps I think the movies gave us).

None of that was subtle, nor was it meant to be. "Tell, don't show" Lucas likes subtlety about as much as Anakin likes sand.

I feel like thus would have been more interesting to me that Anakin/Padme.
