Is there anyone here who thinks the Star Wars prequels were better than TFA/R1?

I have no respect for people who think the prequels are good.

TFA was OK. R1 was pretty good.

I think RotS is up for debate being near Rogue One, but that's it. Sure TFA wasn't original, but it was a highly competent movie with good new characters.

The other 2 prequels on the other hand are total garbage. RotS was just too late to save the garbage train that was the prequels, and there were several frickups in that movie as well.

No. Ep III is the only respectable prequel

They're all on about the same level.

I don't hate the prequels as much as most people but they are vastly inferior to all other Star Wars movies

You try way too hard.

I actually think darth maul, general grievous, and count dooku were all really interesting characters. The problem is that Lucas killed them all off 10 seconds after they were introduced so they never had a chance to develop and resonate with people. If he had introduced them all in episode 1, then had Annakin kill them all in episode 3 (with Maul obviously being the last one) it could have been really cool. Like the emperor could have been ordering the 3 of them to kill various people close to Anakin to incite his anger and entice him to kill them, thus leading him to the dark side. But what do I know

It should have just been Darth Maul and have Anakin kill him before the halfway point of Episode III. I do think the logical point of no return for Anakin would be a 3 way lightsaber duel with Mace Windu and Darth Maul, with Anakin planning on framing Maul for Mace's death but he's caught in the action of killing Windu. Having Greivous and Dooku on top of this I think is too complicated.

Grievous was such a stupid and unnecessary character. Just thinking about the prequels pisses me off

I thought Rogue One was one of the best of all the movies, granted I have only seen it once and haven't been back.

Force Awakens is a time filler, it started a new story, nothing special.

As for the prequels, I thought they did what they were supposed to do and tell a story and had lots of effects. No matter how we got to the point, Anakin would always become Vader and the ending would never be happy. Luke was a whiney shite so Anakin being one too makes sense. I thought it brought us the best two saber duels and I liked a lot of the characters, they just lacked a certain depth to the story.

Jar Jar is comprable to the Ewoks to me, they were both comedy filler. Kids loved Jar Jar like we loved the Ewoks as kids.

I really enjoyed that Rogue One went back to basics, practical effects and a deeper story of hope. makes me mad thinking that Disney axed the new Star Wars game that would have been similar to the Jedi Academy games.
