I think it’s a great trilogy, definitely underrated by most fans. It has its problems, of course, but which film or trilogy has no problems? Come on, even the Original Trilogy has problems, even if no one wants to admit it… Not to mention that, in my opinion, many of those that are classified as problems are not actually problems, but intentional choices of which people often don’t understand the meaning (like the cringe Anakin and Padmé’s romance for example).

Also, as a footnote, I don’t share the view that TCW “saved” the Prequels. On the contrary, I think it ruined them! Before 2008, when the Clone Wars Multimedia Project was still the official story of the Clone Wars, the Prequel Era was definitely better in my opinion. The Expanded Universe greatly enriched the story of the Prequel Era, because it really did follow the films instead of trying to “correct” them based on unnecessary fan “criticism”. I really don’t understand why so many people say they have to watch TCW in order to enjoy ROTS. The opposite happens to me! I mean, I can’t enjoy ROTS knowing that TCW is officially Canon, since seeing ROTS It gives you the impression that Ahsoka never existed and that Maul died in TPM.
