Honestly, I've been kind of annoyed by everyone bashing the prequels,

Why does someone giving a negative opinion suddenly equate to "bashing?" What I'm annoyed by is prequel fans using that word to make it sound like people who didn't like the prequels are horrible or something. If you're getting annoyed by people having a negative opinion, I think you need to reassess your priorities.

I mean they told the story, and yes Jar Jar was annoying, and Anakin a bit whinier than he shoulda been, but Luke was whiney as shit in the originals,

They told the story poorly, as I said in detail above, I don't care about Jar Jar at all (people need to get over that), and to say Luke was "whiney as shit" in the original films when he had a few whiney lines in the first movie before his character started to grow up is ridiculous. Luke grew up, Anakin didn't.

and I think Hayden did a great job, and sure I could think of better actors that could have played the part, but why waste a shot to start another career, I mean it was Star Wars the movie was gonna sell itself you didn't need Depp DiCaprio and Deniro in it to push it to the box office.

You do realize that you're excusing lower quality by saying that because the people were going to come anyway there was no reason to actually try to make it better, right?

Biggest stars of the time in there were Ewan, Natalie, and Liam, and still I dare most people, without IMDB, to name me 10 movies between the three of them (minus 3 star wars for ewan and nat).

Big Fish (Ewan)
Angels and Demons (Ewan)
The Island (Ewan)
Where the Heart Is (Natalie)
Closer (Natalie)
Mars Attacks (Natalie)
Schindler's List (Liam)
Taken (Liam)
The Haunting (Liam)
K-19 The Widowmaker (Liam)

There you go, ten movies between the three of them.

Any questions?

not bad, I'll give the list too you good job. And yes I guess bashing is to hard a word, but I'm no less of a fan of the originals as I am of the prequels, it's one story, and in comparison to a lot of other series of movies it's better plain and simple, as a whole. I think that LucasArts has pushed the prequel setup too hard down peoples throats. I think they need more media dealing with the GCW than with the Clone Wars. But I just don't 'think the movies are as bad as some people feel they are.

Considering it says other than Hayden, I'd say one of two people, Heath Ledger, though he may have been a bit too stocky for the role, and James Franco, they both have the available light and dark emotions needed for the character

Was Heath Ledger the dude who played Neo from the Matrix? Because if he is he would such big time with the role of Anakin.

Heath Ledger, God rest his soul, was the actor who played The Joker in "The Dark Knight".

As I've said before, if they ever remake Star Wars they need to cast Christopher Walken as Governor Tarkin. Just imagine him saying "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!" in that Christopher Walken way.

Epic.
