That and the prequels failed to do much of the drama stuff because they did it so corny. I guess if we knew exactly what went wrong with the prequels, we would be able to make stories of unique power on our own, but the characters just felt so fake. I didn't like them very much because I did not believe them. however real characters were made in the OT was absent in the PT. We weren't spying on people living their lives, we were watching actors give performances. It fails to resonate. Which would be one problem, but the PT also undercut the OT, says he drifting back toward the topic.
