the ST couldn't even tell a decent and well thought out story over the span of 3 films.

the PT at the very least got the basics kinda right.

Nothing in the series is worse and more pointless than the entire casino planet subplot of The Last Jedi.

Attack of the Clones is immensely worse. Nothing exists for any reason at all other than to have action set pieces that go on way too long while being loosely connected with poor excuses to have them. It reminds me of The Matrix Reloaded but more long winded and video gamey. Sith isnt honestly much better with as much as people like to boost it up as the high point of the prequels. The first half of the movie is cgi nightmare action sequences spliced with people slowly walking through hallways and talking about boring shit, and while it does get better in the last stretch not markedly so

The prequels had a story to tell and actually feels like a trilogy. The characters, despite the quality of their lines, actually are individuals to care about. The action is hotter and the music better.

The sequels are one big disjointed mess with glued together pieces that dont really fit. There is no clear thought out narrative.

Episode 1 and 7 are both great.

3 and 9 are passable.

The prequel feel like a star wars movie. The sequel feels like terrible fan fiction with a huge budget. The only reason why people like the sequels is because of the visual effects. I will say though that for a hot minute TFA was one of my favorite movies, but what came after ruins it for me.

I respect the prequels more for at least trying something different, even if they were hit-or-miss depending on who you ask.

Sequels were so much retreading of 4-6 (with far less compelling and fleshed-out characters compared to 4-6) that it was painful.

The PT at least adds immensely to the Galaxy itself and its lore while the ST does the exact opposite - making the Galaxy feel small, empty and lifeless.

Let's see, I rank them...

1. RotS
2. TFA
3. TLJ
4. TPM
5=6. RoS/AotC

So I guess the prequels suck more for me? Honestly I don't think TPM is worse than TLJ, but it's just so fucking boring. I saw it in theaters as a kid, and I was bored out of my mind. These are kids movies at the end of the day, and it fails at that.

The prequels actually know the story they want to tell. There's a lot wrong with them, but there's direction and focus in what it wants to accomplish. The sequel trilogy was doomed from the start with zero direction. I'll easily say TFA is better than TPM and AotC, but TLJ ruins everything TFA set up and leaves nothing for RoS to continue.

The prequels for all their faults were at memorable, epic, more original and actually felt like Star Wars. The sequels are bland, forgettable, boring and feel like a Marvel movie trying to be Star Wars.

Prequels are way better.

Prequel memes has really fucked up people's perception of the prequels. That subreddit is hilarious but the movies are still trash. With that being said I do enjoy them in a so bad it's good kind of way. Like you can watch through them and just laugh out loud at the horrible acting and dialogue. The sequels are just straight up garbage.

The sequels would have been ok, passable and otherwise mediocre cinema if they werent Star Wars. The prequel trilogy was like bathing in sewage.

The sequels have much, much better acting, and a way better commitment to practical effects and 'heavy' lightsaber fighting. Some of the story decisions are a bit weird, but I give the sequels a vast margin of victory over the prequels.

The prequels could have been great, but George Lucas is a bad writer/director who couldn't squeeze good performances out of a bunch of acting legends and academy award winners.
Agreed 100% And I think RotS is actually one of the better ones, but it's really just because the material itself is elevated by being a tragedy.

The ST is a shit stain on the franchise, and completely changes the narrative.

With the ST: The story is about Palpatines rise, fall, then his ultimate revenge by wiping out his enemys bloodline with his still intact.

Without the ST: The saga is clearly about the Skywalker family, their fall and redemption after many struggles. At the end of the day the light prevails with much celebrating to be had.

The ST as it is was a mistake.

If you take a piece by piece analysis of the acting, visual effects, music, action choreography, story, dialogue, etc.

The sequels always score more points for me. They're not perfect, but they're much more competently made than the prequels.

The prequels are fun to watch, but there's nothing in the sequels that even comes close to how painful the romance dialogue is in episode II

Notice how when they lose arguments with you, or are otherwise embarrassed or have their jimmies rustled, they resort to name calling and making shit up. Its a sure sign that they know they're wrong, somewhere deep down.

Nah, I like them because they make me feel good, but I don't like them that much. The historical revisionism and rationalization around the prequels and the franchise as a whole definitely rustles my jimmies, and that's where all the spite comes from.

As much of the problems the ST has, none of the performances made me outright cringe. The prequels had a LOT of it.

The sequels had flawed plot progression and development, but the prequels had bad dialogue, and it extended to the performances. The Darth Plagueis monologue doesn't make up for the countless other cheesy exchanges.
