The Lego Star Wars games are the best thing to come out of the prequels. Period.

They're all pretty cheesey lowbrow scifi.
It has to be entirely nostalgia.
They're all intergalactic adventures of furries and people with ugly hair, poor design and poor writing.
Star Trek TNG and DS9, now that's proper space scifi without the camp and furries.

rip your star trek argument
Honestly though, I dislike Star Trek and Star Wars, but find Star Wars to be more tolerable. Simple as that.
I'll agree with that.
It's even worse than Star Wars!
TNG Star Trek and DS9 Star Trek are entirely different. Brilliant writing, and DS9 is one of the best use of story arcs ever in western media.
TNG was alright, but not as amazing as everyone makes out. Farscape beats them all.
The great thing about the original SW movies was the way they allowed your imagination to fill in the gaps... they hinted at these epic events and ancient histories, and did a really good job suggesting a real, coherent, realistic, yet wierd and fantastical universe.
Of course, we all wanted those gaps filled in.. but we should have been careful what we wished for, as the prequels took all the mystery out, and replaced it with generic, unrealistic (in a SW sense) poorly written fan-fiction.
As in a coherent, coordinated universe, and also as in the gritty, real life look of many of the locations and ships. Star trek was always too clean.
Star Wars shows a space fairy tale.
and Farscape? Farscape isn't realistic at all!
Any why does the Gametrailers guy have to mispronounce something in every video he does? It's Coruscant; not Coruscent.

He also says "grind" in every single RPG video he does, as in "you're grinding [exp/money/items/etc]". Every one. I don't know why all this bothers me, but it does.

On the other hand, the few clips of cutscenes from the ones i didn't play make me wonder if maybe they explain some of the unexplained things from the movies... but I really can't be bothered to go and play any of them to see if they explain WHY the jedi were getting weaker, cos I expect the explanations would be worse than anything I could image. (as the prequels were.)
Still, the prequels did have awesome posters. ANd next week is Tie Fighter! Awesome...

Tie fighter and rogue squadron games were awesome.
X-Wing and TIE Fighter took up so much of my childhood.

these retrospectives are really disappointing, because they don't include half of the games.

Next week is all the x-wing and tie-fighter games.
I'd imagine the week after that will include Dark Forces and Jedi Knight
I guess at some point they'll have to mention Force Commander too... :-(
