Its hype in the mass media made me think the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy might be worth seeing, but after spending almost $30 on tickets alone, over time, I discovered the series was really just a CGI-laden piece of garbage.
I mean, really. After Lucas made the *original* Original Trilogy in the 70s-80s, don't you think he'd have noticed that he'd made something sacred and that he should have left well enough alone? Certainly not. 1995 called to him. Then CGI. Then the whole thing just went to hell!
Now, Jar Jar Binks, he's another story. Most people from whom I have read just hate him and every pixel of his being. Of course, he was probably the one and only thing that saved "Phantom Menace" from being the piece of trash the other two that followed it had been. Had Lucas been smart and given Binks more exposure in the other two, they probably would have been more bearable. As is? Forget it. Too far gone now to be saved.......
