The best reason why episode 1 is the best of the prequel trilogy is not in terms of content, But that it was actually shot on 35mm motion picture film.
This is why 2 and 3 look like a videogame, LOL.
But did'nt you know digital is better you will say as Lucas has hoodwinked all those tfn gushers into believing the myth and drinking the cool aide.
He tried to sell all of us star wars fans a pig in a poke with the prequels. We should not have gotten fooled again but we did, we hoped Indiana Jones IV would'nt suffer the same fate. Well at least Spielberg shot it on film good decision and only good on the entire movie.
