I think Episode 1 was the best film making wise. Best actors, best cinematography, and story. It’s a political thriller disguised as a children’s film. The downside is the film is bloated and filled with filler. Plus, jar is an insult to the franchise with his very existence. The baby toddler humor was ridiculous. I would rather visit the good elements of this movie by reading the novel Darth plagueis.

Episode two is the worst because it makes Darth Vader look like an obsessive weirdo in regards to Padme. I also don’t like how the main protagonist Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin are literally why the clone wars began with them being kidnapped by the separatist. It makes the Star Wars universe feel smaller And is too coincidental when putting in context with the original trilogy. But if I had to revisit this story, I would do so by reading the novelization, which is significantly better because it focuses more on Anakin losing his mother, which is literally the only important element of this movie.

Episode three is probably the most entertaining, but that doesn’t mean it was a good movie. The direction is very haphazard and feels sloppy. But there are some decent performances here and there. Namely, between Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi when Kenobi ask Anakin to do something dishonest and most scenes Between Anakin and Palpatine were also OK. I just hate How rush this movie feels and particularly the last five minutes of the movie is ridiculous with the nooooooo! And how the movie tries to tie into the originals. The novelization is 1 million times better.

However, I prefer the original story which was told in the return of the Jedi novelization. Overall, the prequels had good ideas Which were executed haphazardly in the movies. The novelizations were way better, especially revenge of the sith. Which means Others can write these movies better than George Lucas.
