I mean, you can't deny that the awesomeness of the action in the prequel trilogy was far greater than the awesomeness of the action in the original trilogy..

"A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing."

-George Lucas

But I already said, the story for the Phantom menace was great, the story for Attack of the Clones was good enough, the story for revenge of the sith was fantastic, and the story when you look at the trilogy as a complete single movie was amazing.

Oh, you already said. Well then, it's settled, isn't it? Maybe we should put it up for a vote.

The plots to the PT films are okay. Probably 'decent enough' but the story is oh so horrid. The story is weakly told, weakly acted, weakly presented. It has no gravitas, no verisimillitude, no swashbuckle. It's insipid, infantile and dull. All of these factors lead to low emotional impact, which really causes the action scenes to suffer.

Two characters having a silent argument is more interesting than a laser sword battle on a spaceship orbiting a black hole in a galaxy far far away if you care about the disagreeing characters, and have no connection to the sword fighters.

You said that no one can deny the awesomeness of the action in the PT. I easily deny it. Far from awesome, I find most of it to be stupid. It's so much flash and so little substance, that I can't be bothered to care about it.

tl;dr- Buzz droids. I rest my case.
