But to me that means nothing if you can't get a good story. As George Lucas said, s special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.
Yet you think the prequels are great

They have an original story to follow, that's more than you can say for TFA. Whether you think it's a good story or not is something else.
Being original means nothing if it's awful. And originality, or lack thereof, doesn't make something good or bad.

TPM was pure garbage, regardless of originality.
AotC was complete trash, regardless of originality.
RotJ was meh, regardless of originality.
TFA wasn't that original, but it did it better than ANH. That doesn't make it bad.

Originality means jack shit.

Halo CE is one of the most unoriginal cliché Sci-fi games around, yet people loved it.
Halo CE is not loved for its single player.

lol It actually is. People love to jerk off over CE's campaign.
Just because the MP was loved doesn't mean the SP wasn't. It isn't a one or the other type of deal.

The implication is that the SP is more cherished than the multiplayer, which isn't true in the slightest.

At least, that's how me and the other guy read it.

Besides, I'm pretty sure everyone shits on CE nowadays.

I never said it was more cherished. People still get off to it though.

I would argue that it is... unless by multiplayer you're also referring to co-op multiplayer, in which case okay fair enough. But Halo 2 was the primarily multiplayer one if anything.

Except Ep III. was the only decent prequel movie that has good plot and somewhat good characters.

Not by me though, i'm not saying the idea and direction is bad, the execution of it is poor and shit IMO.

My mistake, you do make a good point but i wouldn't say the "prequels are better".

Saying TFA isn't as good as the prequels is objectively wrong

It remained consistent within itself as far as pacing and tone were concerned. No ewok songs, no Jar Jar.

The only good part of the prequels is Ewan Mcgregor, Anakin's turn to the dark side, his duel with Obi-Wan. and him becoming Vader at the end.
