Can anyone tell me (aside from Jar Jar, and the prominent use of CGI) what is wrong with the prequels? I'm rewatching the OT at the moment and noting down my thoughts.

They had color holograms in the prequels and in the clone wars
Shit That's beautifully written Ghaleon, didn't pick up on that.

also I aint down with wookie plastic surgery
look at chewie in jedi
shoulda been all rugged and cool
nah man
Well if they are anything like our Galaxy, they just haven't discovered Pro-V vitamins use for hair 30 years ago.
I'd say deal with it.
By the way, I guess I'm the only one who wants to see the return of Death Sticks.

Maybe Rey is Jar Jar daughter?

Chewie was basically just a teenager in the original trilogy IIRC. Puberty is a bitch.

Looks like I'm seeing it again tonight. My roommate bought me tickets for 6 pm showing. Our third time

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Not joking. For Jar Jar killing is as easy as breathing. Notice that he never "accidentally" kills the wrong people?
Now you've gone and done it.
Have you seen them before, by the way? I'm not sure if your question is from the perspective of someone who hasn't seen them and wants to know why so many people dislike them, or if you've seen them and enjoy them and are confused as to other people's feelings about them.
FYI I enjoy the prequels even despite their flaws.
I so badly want to see the movie again but every showing is sold out. I'm in a small town so there's not a bunch of showings to choose from, but never seen such a craze for tickets before..
The short answer? Everything. Everything is wrong with the prequels.
Red Letter Media has reviews on youtube for all 3 prequels where he breaks down pretty much everything that is wrong with them... I've honestly watched those reviews more times than the actual prequels.

There were like 50+ people already lined up 40 minutes before the doors were open, and the place filled up in about 10 minutes after that. Pretty ridiculous for a 1:20pm showing on a Tuesday. Movie is a juggernaut.

I think the fact that Disney owns this franchise and has officially annualized it (yeah I know episode-spinoff-episode-etc.) makes me extremely cynical about where the future films are going. Especially since this one felt like A New Hope 2.0 for a majority of the film. If they manage to make a film that goes beyond being a decently entertaining winter film I'll be surprised.

Surely Ren killed all of them when he went to retrieve Vader's helmet. I'd rather see new species.

I had Monday off and went to an 11:20AM screening. It was 2/3 full but quiet as a tomb.
Then again I saw SPECTRE more than three weeks after it opened and that was just as full on a weekday.

But will we ever learn what happened to Mala and little Lumpy?
Did you miss when he stopped fighting and punched his wound?
Endor and it's moon were the first targets while testing the Starkiller. (I hope).

I'm thinking again about Rey = Shmi Skywalker theory and SW will be from 1 to 9 a time loop story...
That can explain why disney eraze the star wars universe in 2012 !

Chewie and Mala are together. It was mentioned in Smuggler's Run, which is a canonical book.

How many Death Star type things have they made? How often do they keep getting blown up? Those dark side chumps need to learn something.

I haven't seen them for quite a while. Only thing that stood out was Annakin's poor acting, but I loved how Padame's death and other events led him to the dark side. It was relatable. You understood his feelings.
I'm almost half way through Empire Strikes Back now, and aside from Yoda, I'm getting bored. If people love this, and seemingly TFA, I'm trying to imagine how bad Episode 1, 2 and 3 must have been.

I like the idea that Ren and The First Order killed a bunch of Ewoks on their mission to get charred Vader mask.

Death Sticks man died from the death sticks but was reincarnated as Rey, now he fights with a stick.
I feel like it would have been cool if it simply swallowed stars and killed everything in the system that way. Everything would freeze in minutes, the orbits would destabilize and the planets would drift frozen forever.

They probably just got pelted with stones until they left Endor.
Because the Force didn't need it until now.
But Death Sticks went home and rethought his life!

What is this "shipping" talk when talking about Rey, Finn and Poe?
Starsailor

Think about it... Rey = Shmi , she used all of her Force to make born Anakin that's why Qui-gon only feel Force in him.
That explain why disney eraze the expand universe
That explain why the Anakin lightsaber choose her...
That explain why she had so much Force...
THREE TRILOGY
One for Anakin
One for her mother
One for his son...

Hmm, when i was a little child i remember liking the Phantom Menace, maybe i should give it a rewatch, only saw it once or twice. that race was too long though

Yeah, pretty much this right here. If anything, The Force Awakens even further provides reason why the prequels are just bad movies in general. No part of the "story" or anything the characters do in Phantom Menace makes any kind of sense at all.
Finn is the Force Awakens fandom speeder bike.

and what if...C3P0 travel with her through time? And he arrived broken to tattoine? So Anakin fix it!

Nah, Ren pressed the pause button on the lil Teddie Bears.
People like to reimagine a 3 way friendship as a 3 way open relationship. Because unconditional friendship between characters isn't as gratifying as mental titillation to them.

4, but I don't know if the Prototype (basically just a frame and the weapon) are still canon or not.

They'll probably need some other galaxy threatening weapon for at least Episode IX. Get excited?
Not sure, if already posted
J.J. ABRAMS recently read the script for Episode VIII of Star Wars. And he had a reaction to it that his lifelong friend, “The Force Awakens” actor Greg Grunberg, had not ever heard from the director over their decades together in the industry.
“He read it and said something he never, ever says,” Grunberg, who plays pilot Snap Wexley in the new film, tells The Post’s Comic Riffs. “He said: ‘It’s so good, I wish I were making it.’
“He may have said something one time on ‘Lost,’ with Damon [Lindelof, the co-creator],” continues Grunberg, whose credits on Abrams series include “Lost” and “Felicity,” “but I never hear him express regret like that.”

I hope the script is really good
