One of my biggest gripes with the prequels is that the lightsaber duels are over the top flashy. Half the time the swings aren't even going for anything except the opponent's blade. It's so over-choreographed.
TFA had gritty fights with emotion behind every swing. Almost no "let me spin in place for no reason and take my eyes off my enemy" which was like 40% of the prequel fights.
Also I think we were supposed to give a **** about Anakin but like no one does. He just whines a sh*tton and then "oh no he's bad, doesn't that upset you?" but like no, he can die on Mustafar for all I care.
Like I barely even care about arguing which prequel was the least garbage because they were all full of crap. They all have one or two redeeming factors but most of it is dumb.

I fenced for 2 years. There's a difference between set attacks and proper blocks and swing at a spot that won't hit, then having your opponent move into that spot and block (that happens on Mustafar).
Unrelated (not claiming I'm some Swordmaster or anything) but there are soooo many crap moments in the Mustafar duel. The whole part on the table with the clothesline kick and slow flying jump, Obi swinging his saber in an arc on Anakin instead of a stab. The bits of neither one touching the other's saber as they spin them around each other's body.
The Mustafar duel perfectly sums up the prequels for me. A very long sequence of needlessly flashy events pumped with unnecessary CGI, with over-the-top acting and flourishes but without any substance, revolving around a character I don't care about.
Also going from Leia, a pretty capable character in her own right, to Padme, who starts off kinda badass but devolves into a sappy girl with the romantic aspirations of a 12 year old, who ends up banging a dude who does nothing but whine about how unlucky he is and how unfair everything is and looks at her creepily. Literally thanks to the script.
Revenge of the Sith has to be the most underrated of the prequels. Does it hold a candle to the original? No. However, it does have great action sequences and the Obi-wan vs. Anakin fight was very memorable.
That point made, III was still probably the best of the prequels, but that's not saying much. My personal ratings of each movie depend on the context in which you view them: as a part of the whole, or as singular movies. I think VII was very strong as a standalone, maybe more so than any of the other movies, but as a part of the whole, it's pretty easily not as good as V.
I went to two bonfires and finished a six pack of Guinness Draught (ended the old year with a Guinness and started the new year with a Guinness). Also take your Ethnies and longboard instead of boots if you're going to be traveling to your two friends' bonfires miles in between.
the worst part of having someone commission you is awkwardly having to ask them to pay you before you finish
or if you already have it completed it's like you're holding it ransom
it's also kind of annoying not to be able to show them what they want to see if they're your friend
I also will never stream my art because I can't handle people watching me draw and talking about it

ughughughugh... this is one of the reasons i'm never doing any type of commission work again. i had, like, 3 bad instances of people wanting me to do something, but not wanting to pay once it was done, or totally not understanding that if something is complex enough to take about 4 hours of work that 10 bucks isn't nearly enough compensation for it...

I'm stuck at lunch with my gf's family. At least I can chat with her and her brother (and his gf) but, dammit, old Asian people stop talking so we can leave. I have stuff to do ;x
Ok so even if we jump straight to Furry porn. Anapromorphs are more humanoid than animal. It is almost always Anapromorphs together and never with humans.
It is a stretch to say that something that is basically just a variation on hentai makes you **** animals.
