But the reason there wasn't as much emotion was because there really wasn't much of it in general in the galaxy. This up to the end of Episode II were running smoothly until Palpatine (Who ends up to be the Dark Lord of the Sith) was given emergency powers to create the Clone army and that was the start of the darkness. He basically was running both sides The speratist's and the republic. Palpatine was the Phantom Menace, nobody knew he was the Lord of the Sith... hell in Episode I The Jedi didn't even know the Sith existed! They were mere representatives and peace keepers of the republic, not warriors.
The prequels take place in the same universe, but it wasn't the same as most Star Wars fans knew it.
To the casual Star Wars fan, I can see how your expectations were shattered but I consider myself pretty hardcore and have looked into the story deeper than casual fans.

Yes but characters should still have some depth otherwise they are just empty vessels. If you create a story with no emotion that is your own fault as the movie director/writer.
Fotze - love the analogy by your brother - that's exactly how I feel. I own the 3 original movies (the proper cut - not Lucas' ego-driven updated version) but I don't every feel like watching them.
