Yes, even the prequels.

And you know what, I like Anakins character better than Luke.

Anakin is still my least favorite character in prequels, but I like him better than his son.

    Is it because of the haircut?

    It has been so long since I've seen all of the SW movies. Might have to re-watch them myself sometime.

    @marmadillo: Anakin just feels so much more, concrete? I'm trying to think of a word to describe it but in the most simplified explanation I can give is that Anakin feels so much more fleshed out and actually explored.

    Luke was just that guy, that guy Obi-wan is teaching, that guy who isn't as cool as Han Solo. I guess I feel like Luke is more dull because his motivations are less stellar than Anakin in the beginning.

    I dunno, but I think even with how bad Anakin was written he was still better at being an interesting character than Luke.

    Isnt rewatching all of Star Wars something all of us have done a few times? Just like rewatching the Lord of the Rings.

    I rewatch Star Wars at least once a year, alongside rereading (and occasionally rewatching) Lord of the Rings. I used to replay Final Fantasy VIII too, but then my PS2 died and I haven't gotten around to PSN or Steaming it.

    At a guess, you're picking up on how Luke for 2 movies more or less gets jerked around by other people while that's only entirely true for Anakin in 1. Or, insofar as his entire character is about being screwed by other people, he starts making decisions for himself in a big way after I while Luke spends IV and V following the Hand of Fate.

    Also, tragedy more fun and all.

    @leo: True, I liked how he wasn't as jerked around as Luke.
