I didn't know there was a particular fondness for EP1/EP2 after the sequel trilogy. That's kinda weird to me. I guess it makes sense though. I have some nutty Star Wars fan friends that say EP1 and EP2 added more to "the lore" of Star Wars which makes them better than the sequel trilogy, and I can sorta see the argument. Like I think there are a lot more interesting concepts and characters introduced in those movies. The sequel trilogy is kinda just introducing uninspired rehashes of stuff we've already seen, and what little new stuff we do see feeling more like stuff that wasn't thought out introduced for shock factor that adds more plot holes than things to the lore.

I do agree that the Obi Wan subplot of EP2 is the best part between the two, but I'd still take EP1 over EP2 just because the rest of EP2 with Padme/Anakin is just so bad.

Revenge of the Sith is good though. Better pacing and more action is all the prequel trilogy needed to be watchable in a cheesy over the top kinda way. If romance or bad child actors aren't involved the bad stuff in the prequel trilogy is not really cringey.

I'm in the camp of, "the original trilogy remains the best; the sequel trilogy is making impressive in-roads toward second place to say the least; the prequel trilogy isn't terrible."

The prequels definitely exhibit stronger worldbuilding than the sequels, which is the one downfall for the latter. Otherwise it's night and day, I think, but I still don't hate 1 through 3.
