Does anyone appreciate seeing the base version of what the Galaxy was like before the empire took over?

Does anyone appreciate seeing Coruscant in its full glory for the first time ever after being completely absent from the Originals except for one quick shot at the end of ROTJ, what the Jedi council looked like before the Sith came to power, and others things we did not get the luxury of seeing in the originals?

That was a crappy Lucas re-release addition.

And I really don't appreciate seeing everything in its full glory because it was all way too cluttered. 1.2.3 were bad for a lot of reasons but they're shitty because Lucas had his new CGI toy and he went overboard with it. In case you want to give Lucas any benefit of the doubt he doubled down on shitty CGI in the re-releases and added useless clutter to a bunch of scenes.

Yeah, but they didn't follow through with it in the next 2 films. Seriously, how was Corusant remotely effected by the Clone Wars aside from that one aerial battle? It looks the exact same in Episode III. I really don't know who exactly the Clone Wars affected besides the Jedi.

That was disappointing. I can understand them having a smaller base on Corusant, but you'd think their central location would be on a planet that was highly spiritually aligned with the Force. Maybe a planet that looks like Asgard from Thor. Instead they're in the middle of a big city in a giant stone building. Real creative.

The best depiction of that universe pre-trilogy is the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. That game beats the shite out of the prequel trilogy.
