Yeah, I totally love how the PT portray Jedi as beings who are devoid of emotion who take children from their families and don’t allow to visit them even if they’re in slavery. I also love how they make it seem that being human in any way means you’re going to turn to the Dark Side. Makes them so relatable. I also love how Palpatine’s relationship with Anakin is primarily based on him telling Anakin how powerful he is. Showing genuine compassion would have been boring. I also love how Palpatine’s plans are so good that even though he’s at the center of all his political machinations he is still too good to be detected. Also the Dark Side clouding everything was a brilliant way to explain why no one suspected him. It’s so nuanced. The love story with meticulously crafted to show what true love is. Putting two attractive people in romantic situations is all you need in a relationship. Chemistry isn’t that important. And adding the forbidden romance angle makes us root for them due to their struggle of them not being able to be together because as we all know it is impossible for a Senator to date someone. In concept it’s quite heart breaking. I also always loved how Yoda had a little lightsaber and flipped around like a video game character. See…THAT is Star Wars at it’s core.

You’ve got that backwards.

Not to mention putting the PT above TFA for the writing (what?).
