I haven’t watched any of them, but I assume that if I had to, I’d turn on somebody’s fan commentary to go over it (If you guys have any recommendations, I’d like to hear them. Perhaps not RLM if he made any, though; I’m not a fan of his style of humour)

Seriously, don’t even bother. If you’ve seen the OT, there were all kinds of implied and unexplained things that the audience could be left to wonder about on its own. The prequels not only filled in those blanks in wholly unsatisfactory, contrived, and often contradictory ways, but they were aimed primarily at 5 year olds, took a **** on some of the most sacrosanct concepts and beliefs in the originals, shoe-horned in completely out of place characters and bizarre infantile gags, but they also managed to do all of that in the most boring and vapid manner possible.

Even disregarding the way the prequels attempted to ruin Star Wars, they are objectively boring, often obnoxious, and extremely poorly designed, shot, acted, and edited.

There is a reason RLM became famous breaking down these utterly detested and vile video game movies.
