But if you prioritize realistic character flaws
Like Padme going from being creeped out by Anaking to immediately falling in love?
Like Anakin going from being a Jedi to immediately betraying the galaxy on some bizarre hope that the Dark Side can save his wife, then immediately turning and asking what he’s done, then immediately going full evil two seconds later?
Like the Jedi all being idiots and having no clue about Palpatine being Sidious?The most powerful interesting character from ESB reduced to a short green videogame blur! >
I find the PT edits I enjoy remove many (most?) of these problems. They’re not as good as the ST or RO, certainly, but also not as irretrievably unwatchable as you yourself claim they are.
