Hee, SO with you on AotC. I fast-forward through everything that doesn't have Ewan in it, except the Yoda fight scene. You know, when I saw this in the theater, I swear like half the audience had dozed off by the time Obi-Wan got to the clone planet, because when Yoda pulled out that lightsaber you could just feel the whole theater snapping out of a stupor and turning their attention back to the screen. It was like this great disturbance in the Force.

I like to kind of think of the prequels as AUing the original series. That way I can still have some respect for Darth Vader instead of having to think of him as a whiny little snot. Though I have lately been sort of tempted to write a fic where Obi-Wan shows Luke a vision of the Jedi Temple and Luke has this nasty "Oh my god, old people were once young too!" moment and gets all horrified because Obi-Wan was sex on a stick when he was still Ewan and not Alec Guinness.
