So... Anyone wants to to take a crack at Attack of the Clones? I actually like it more than Phantom Menace just because I have stronger nostalgia. I didn't see Phantom Menace until I was older, and I didn't like it all. I think you have to see Phantom Menace as a kid to apprieciate it. Unlike the original trilogy which can be enjoyed at all stages of life though the nostalgia helps lol. Helps me at least. Unlike the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones doesn't downright contradict many of the things in the original trilogy. Sure there's Yoda with a lightsaber, but in a way it almost gives him an arc. In Return of the Jedi, Yoda says to be careful with the Emperor. In Revenge of the Sith, Yoda fights Palpatine and loses. Maybe during all that time in Dagobah, Yoda smelled too many mushrooms and became the deranged midget he is in the Empire Strikes Back. Or maybe he realized his hubris and then went crazy. Either way, great arc. Revenge of the Sith(the watchable prequel) just doesn't work without Attack of the Clone while Phantom Menace is completely superflous. I'm not saying this is my favorite Star Wars movie, but not as bad as Phantom Menace. Doesn't matter how many Phantom Edits you make, it still doesn't have a relatable main character. If I had to rank them :

1. Empire Strikea Back

2. Star Wars(1977)

3. Return of the Jedi

4. Revenge of the Sith

5. Attack of the Clones

6. The Phantom Menace
