I love the prequels

I stated this in s/movies, but I think all star wars matters. You don't have to like every movie or piece of media that comes out, but it's all part of the history of the star wars franchise now. It's like the star wars holiday special or star wars: droids. They suck, but we can look back on them and talk about them without getting overly emotional. I just don't understand why these "fans" that have been bitching and moaning since the phantom menace even still watch star wars.

I love the prequels. For all their faults, I think they really "open up" the star wars universe. The clone wars tv show expands it even more. I was a kid when the prequels came out. The nostalgia is real.

Prequels were amazing because.

Score. Omg

Plotline. We knew how it will end but still the plot was never predictable.

Rise of palatine was excellent story telling.

Brilliant effects.

Original sets.

Edge of pants stunningly good cheorographing fight scenes.

Genius characters like darth maul

Negatives. The romance was terrible. The scripts at times were immature.... The actor for anakin wasn't good.

I've done a deep dive into Hayden Christiansens filmography. He's not a terrible actor. You notice how normally good actors (ewan mcgregor, samuel jackson, natalie protman) all act so wooden in star wars and deliver their lines like they're in a play? I think it's all Lucas' fault. He wanted the actors to say the lines exactly how he had written them, but the writing was too melodramatic to come out naturally.

The only shining actors were Liam neison and Ian McDiarmid imho

I agree. They're great. I just think all the actors could have done better, if they were given more freedom to deliver their lines in a way that felt natural to them.
