Like, it's kinda telling when the only positive thing that the prequels apparently have over the sequels is that they told a consistent story across all three of its movies. Never mind the other facets that actually make the prequels bad: mediocre acting, terrible and cringeworthy scriptwriting, overabundance of CG that doesn't hold up at all, characters that aren't likable at all (barring Obi-wan), battle choreography that falls apart as soon as you look at it, marketing them as a kid's franchise when most of the plot is boring political shit...no, forget all that, the prequels are good because the sequel trilogy was unfocused in its storytelling!

I don't even agree with the saying that the prequel trilogy was good because good things spawned from it. No, the Clone Wars cartoon, the Pod Racing game, any other stuff that spawned from PTs ideas were in spite of the prequels, not because of them. The only thing I'll agree with is that the soundtrack was fucking fantastic. But that's on John Williams. I'd much sooner just listen to the soundtrack than watch the movies if I get a hankering to listen to that music again, because it's great to listen to out-of-context.

Idk. I wasnt in love with 1 and 2 but I never hated them for those reasons. I always could sit and watch the movies. Even when they come on tv today, I realize the CGI for the first 2 movies isnt the best but then I realize these movies are nearly 20 years old now.

At the time, that CGI was pretty impressive. A car made in 2000 isnt going to have the same impressive features as a 2020 car, despite them doing the same basic function, the safety features and entertainment features are far more advanced.

I guess Ive never been influenced by others to hate something just cause others do. I never hated the prequels. 3 was excellent, but the first two are watchable for me at least. I can overlook weird dialogue and bad CGI. But the story is at least solid and Im good with that.
