As someone who was young when the Prequels came out,Id agree they dont have the same feel. But ultimately I love them because I live the technology more than the tech from tbe original trilogy, specifically the Clone Trooper equipment and vehicles. Its similar in my appreciation of the UNSC equipment and tech. Its...military like tech. Of the two sides I liked the Empire because of their actual military technology though I supported the Rebellion. Maybe the people who liked Star Wars just didn't care for the good guys suddenly being the "Government", so to speak, during the Prequel area. [spoiler]What if the CIS were made to be the good guys, and clones and Droids switched sides?[/spoiler]
