I don't know. Maybe ask the Rogue One thread.

I'm still trying to think of 5 things I genuinely liked about the Prequels. And I can't even think of a third.

I didn't mind the villans in the prequels.

Darth Maul, Zam Wessell, Jango Fett, Count Dooku, and General Grievous were all pretty cool, but they all died w/o having their character developed and without consequence in the story.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Exactly.

Maul was #2 on my list.

I don't know who Zam Wessell even is. Jang Fett was so incredibly stupid I wanted to punch the guy sitting next to me. Count Dooku is the worst character name in the history of sci-fi anything AND totally wasted the talents of Christopher Lee (RIP :peace: ) and I guess Grievous was cool? Errybody seems to really like him but I barely remember him doing anything. So... he didn't have much of an impact, I guess. *shrug*

I'm just saying, I have no idea. Vermin prolly knows, though. He's already beat off to RO like 89 times.

I guess I felt like Zam had potential. There wasn't really anything about her execution in the movie that made her great.
