The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.
As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".
I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:
1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"
9. "The Last Jedi"
10. "Rise of Skywalker"
Episodes 7, 8 and 9 aren't even Star Wars movies. They are Marvel flicks masquerading as one.
The ideas in the prequels are much better than anything else in star wars and very interesting compared to most of Hollywood.
The problem with the prequels was the execution and dialogue. The best Star Wars stuff is really the games and TV shows.
No one said you were. Just that Disney will continue shitting all over them and further tainting their "legacy". Meanwhile, you'll cope and seethe when more and more people criticize them. Don't worry, reddit will have your back.

It does retcon quite a bit from the OT, and is entirely pointless when you already have the prequels summarized by Kenobi in A New Hope. He also oversaw The Clone Wars cartoon which retcons a ton of shit from the prequels, so it's not like his word matters much.
And yes, fan flicks. I'm not amending my statement.

It probably has the best moments of the prequels, but also is completely ruined by the awful scenes with Ani and Padme and the CGI shitfest for the last 40 minutes
Based. The prequels are kino and I always love the prequels no matter what but my most favourite Star Wars movie of all time is Return Of The Jedi (yes, ewoks and all).
i actually like its plot tbh
I don't get how there are still adults that are confused by it

this better be bait
he is 100% correct in everything he said. actually one of the best posts on Cinemaphile in months.
anakin's fall from grace and his doomed relationship are genuinely emotional
fight me
did you reply to the wrong comment anon because i agree.
fight me was for anyone else who disagreed my dude
ok so you replied to the wrong comment dipshit.

It's so fricking boring though.
take your meds zoomer
It's one of the worst Star Wars flicks and I don't know why you zoomer redditors fool yourselves into thinking it's somehow great.
post the shitty cgi battle sequence at the end of the movie
filtered
No one got "filtered", it's just not a good movie, and a pretty bad Star Wars flick.
cope
Hope you'll enjoy Disney taking a steaming dump all over your beloved prequel flicks zoomie
Why would I watch Disney products?

the prequels are shit
the sequels are shit
anyone who likes any of them is a fricking moron
>anything other than empire strikes back as best star wars film
>thinking the prequels are good at all in any way
ishygddt
watch the RLM reviews
I did and I just love the movies more now
Woah look at this cinematography!!
>if I use MS paint to add a bunch of green then the movie is bad
I don't get it
Feigning ignorance won’t make the movies good

This is the only good part of the film, it's amazing but the AotC is a bad movie, especially the Geonosis part.
this. im not a prequel hater but aotc is a terrible movie.
Star Wars, Episode II: Obi-Wan Kenobi investigates
Why prequels had so much cooler title compared to rest of series?
It's my most rewatched. As a kid I'd put it on and skip past all the scenes that didn't have clones in them
