Lucas killed my love of all things Star Wars when Greedo shot first. And then he further defiled the corpse with Episode I, with toilet humor, virgin births, that podrace announcer, and the Force as a venereal disease.

Ok, taking one at a time:

Toilet humor=obviously a reference to the farting animal at the podrace. Just playing devil's advocate here, but a fart is nothing more than gas. A burp is nothing more than gas. Burping, which was prevalent in the original trilogy is ok, but a fart is toilet humor?

Virgin birth=in a universe where guys can change a person's thoughts with a wave of the hand, all spaceships fly facing the same up/down axis, an energy field is worshiped as a religion, and various humans can understand/can't understand droid/alien language to fit whatever the scene requires; a virgin birth (or lying mother, you be the judge) makes Episode I bad?

The Podrace announcer. Ok, he was annoying, but Chewbacca doing the Tarzan yell isn't? Or aliens speaking one word/phrase of English just for a joke isn't? Star Wars is ripe with annoying characters. Ewoks. Freakin' ewoks. What else is new.

The Force is a disease. I for one didn't mind this. Seriously, in the context of all the fanboys clamouring for more information on the Force, how it works, etc. that when Lucas provided the answer to a 25 year old question, we didn't like the answer. If the whole Midi-clorian thing was a part of how Vulcan's work their Mind Melds and Spock gave that explanation, we would of ate it up. We don't want Trekkie speak as a part of Star Wars, but in the end, we wanted the answer. We just didn't like it.
