Having rewatched the Prequel Trilogy, I’ve come to agree with Harmy that The Phantom Menace is the most well made of the three. People favor RotS because it has the big emotional moments and payoffs, but TPM is a better crafted film. I think the PT as a whole is actually quite decent, despite being a clear step down.

Also, Palpatine is the best character in the Prequels, especially in TPM. I would’ve loved to have gotten a whole film, Star Wars or not, of Ian McDiarmid as a scheming politician rising to power (sort of like what we got a glimpse of in the Darth Plagueis book).
