And the reason Prequel "defenders" don't discuss positive aspects of the films (especially here) is because the debate is framed by Original Trilogy fans...which always veer toward the "suppose" negatives of the Prequels.

Well, I've heard you state what you thought the important focus of Episode III was. I also stated how I could understand that focus to be interesting and perhaps even enjoyable. However, when actually watching the film from my point of view, that focus was communicated in an unimportant and hypocritical way. Therfore, I would like you to describe or explain your point of view more. I want to objectively know what would allow you see that focus as the important, over-arcing theme of the film.
As for the debate veering towards negatives, I would think that is anavoidable. But, you can answer those problems in substantial ways if you were to describe the point of view where those problems become unimportant. In other words, if a problem isn't worthy of discussion from your point of view, then you don't need to defend it unless you want to.
