As much as I hate to say it, the Sequels are objectively better films overall.

Maybe from a technical and film making perspective the Sequels are better but goddamn do I have no will or desire to watch them again.

Prequels by far. The prequels were dumb but fun. The sequels were dumb but boring.

7 was a good rehash, but creatively lazy
8 was a mixed bag
9 was an 18 wheeler going off a cliff

1 was aggressively OK
2 was aggressively garbage
3 was a mild improvement on 2 but still pretty much sucks

the ST.

I liked episodes 7 & 8, and I thought that episode 9 was alright.

I hated episodes 1 & 2 (episode 2 is easily the worst SW movie), and I thought that episode 3 was pretty decent.

You can make this argument for any modern movie though.

Hell, maybe even more so depending on the movie. One of the scenes in Black Panther was so bad in terms of green screen that it straight ripped me out of my suspension of disbelief

The argument is that the movie sucked. The CG looked great for the time.

Apparently based on technical reasons because you didn't suspend your disbelief of the situation due to the CGI.

I recently tried to rewatch the PT and couldn't even make it halfway through Attack of the Clones before losing interest. Had absolutely zero interest in rewatching Revenge of the Sith, and to this day I'm convinced that the people who actually think it's good are victims of the Law of Diminishing Irony, and believe memes = genuine high quality.

The ST may be a hot mess, but its major saving grace over the PT is that it has likeable characters; even if most of their arcs meander off into the woods or crash into a cliffside, the actors still manage to make the ride a fun one.

The CG looked great for the time. What I didn't suspend was my desire for Anakin and Padme to do something of importance, or for Ana/Obi's force detection or whatever power to be consistent, or for the dialog to not suck or for them to not use sonic weaponry in space or for them to not talk about South in space, or for monsters to not be able to disarm jedi by hitting the blade of the lightsaber.

Prequels suffered from George handling everything, but overall they told a cool story. The universe that was built is great too. It's probably my favorite Star Wars time period so far.

Sequels had Disney corporate written all over it.

1 and 2 were bad, but they had interesting worlds and concepts and gave birth to a bunch of cool spinoffs at least.
3 was good imo

7 was good.
8 was fucking awful
9 was bad
But nothing interesting ever came from the spinoffs. The worlds and culture were so boring compared to the prequels, so I'd say the prequels were better >_>

The ST is "better", but that's a shaky term. It's an uneven trilogy. It's still a bit recent to see where this thing lands overall. But mostly across the board, it's plain better.

The PT is not good, but it's old and nostalgic and I'd rather watch it for the fun of it. It's fun to imagine what George Lucas was going for and then seeing him s*** the bed at almost every turn.

(and hot damn, the Episode 1 Racer game on PC was the s***!)

From his advice given shortly following the Disney acquisition, he purportedly wanted the sequels to have even MORE focus on political senate drama.

ST's effects will age much better than the PT, because the sequels embraced the "aged technology" look from the originals and built real sets, real models....it makes it all the more frustrating that they nailed the superficial parts of what made the originals good like special effects, but failed on the basic level of storytelling.

yeah, if the ST got one thing right it's they nailed the look of the OT, while the PT looks too slick and fakey.

overall story and creativity much better in the prequels but really bad character and scene writing and general film-making. General film and effects practices much better in the sequels but overall story-writing and creativity is terrible. So really pick your poison. For something that is supposed to be part of an epic, I am more disappointed and turned away by the trilogy that is the most awkward in the full-scale of the storyline (and it overwriting a lot of storylines where the main cast weren't sitting around or otherwise failing to do things for 25 years.)

Prequels were better. Only thing thing holding them back was they were obviously very geared towards kids. But theyre much better than the sequels.

The sequels had some nice space battles/dog fights but thats it. Its pretty mind blowing how Disney blew it.

No more so than the rest of the saga.

If anything less so because of all the political/senate stuff

Not to mention ROTS being so grimdark.

Of course not, but think about all the games in The Jedi Knight saga and how much the Sequels and their spinoffs would screw with them. For example, what Rogue One being canon means for the very first mission of the original Dark Forces game.
