Anyone else getting tired of arguing the same thing over and over? I wonder if we’re intent on arguing things that have been argued to death maybe we could switch things up and argue about a different movie?

I’ll go first. ROTS is the best prequel (of the trilogy).

For starters it’s easily the most watchable in terms of pacing. Both TPM and AOTC drag throughout, with long tangential sequences that imbalance the overall structure. ROTS only has one such bloated section, but you get it over and done with up front.

It’s also the film that comes the closest to coherent character work. Most characters in TPM just stand there. In AOTC they’re all over the place. Execution aside, ROTS is the best in terms of creating multi-dimensional (and arguably likable) characters, with an effort made as well to actually challenge them and make their stories compelling.

That’s it for now. Fight me.

P.S. Only one thread rule: no arguing about the ST.
