George Lucas sums up Prequel hate

George Lucas sums up exactly how I feel about the hate for the Star Wars prequels.

"One of the key characters that helped us realize what was going on was Jar Jar Binks, because the kids that are under 10 years old, he’s one of their favorite characters. For people over 40, they cannot stand him—it’s a hate thing. You know, they’ve always been for 12-year-olds, and that’s never changed. People don’t want to think of it that way. They want to think those films are for grown-ups. Even though they were 10 years old when they saw it, it’s still very important to them, so, for them, it’s a grown-up movie, as opposed to a kids’ movie."

Personally I love all of the films. My only disappointment was that Revenge Of The Sith was a 12A, which meant that a lot of kids couldn't see it.
