I just listened to a podcast that talked about how much stronger the film would be without Grievous and that whole storyline.
And I yelled at the podcast, "You shut your mouth! He's Ruddo's favorite!"

Thanks joey. While the movie may have benefited from the exclusion of him, the character of Grievous is one of the most interesting (to me). And he was certainly more interesting than half of the characters in those prequels.

I totally agree. He's a fascinating character and I'd love to see him get some love and an expanded story in the future.
The opening of ROTS feels like a cartoon and not a film, I never had that feeling in R1. I know it was a ton of CGI, but it felt real. The really bad thing about the prequels for me is that they got the feel all wrong. It doesn't feel like the same movies at all, like strat said "lifeless". I know it was before the dark times in a more civilized age but still, it feels like a completely different sci-fi franchise. TFA and R1 both have the "feel" right.

That tactile tangeble fee in force awakens is what informs a lot of people's complaints about it. Always find that funny. It was too Star Wars. Can't please anyone. I loved he design and design language. It so sad Lucas embraced tech so much in the prequels. Who knew it was going to date so badly.

Yes. Exactly.
I like that Lucas tried to do something totally different in the Prequels, but this is exactly what's missing. There was a way to do both: to make it new and different and still tactile.
