I actually liked TROS.
Sorry but that's how I see it.

They are INFINTELY more cohesive in concept and execution. Yes, Lucas' clunky dialogue and lack of ability to craft good characters still remain. But, there's still lots of good stuff in the prequels.

I consider them masterpieces

I have always loved the prequels. They started off a little weak and culminated in the best Star wars movie ever....ROTS...

The first two prequels aren't just bad Star Wars movies, they are awful movies period. Revenge of The Sith shed a lot of the stupid crap from the first two sequels and was a great movie. Maybe its better than Return of the Jedi, but no way its better than New Hope or Empire Strikes back.

I disagree. I have rewatched all the films. There is more substance to ROTS..... not saying that ANH AND ESB are bad films. They are not but they are much more simple films. I like the complexity of ROTS better. AOTC also is not a bad film IMO.....

It is all clear now!

George Lucas aka the true Dark Lord of the Sith: "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen"

Not really. They're now known as "no longer the worst Star Wars movies". You can polish a turd all day and compare it to worse turds but at the end if the day...it's still a turd.

The prequels are still the same movies they were before but now we realize how bad Star Wars can actually get and in retrospect they weren’t as bad as they were made out to be

With the exception of Revenge of the Sith, the sequels are way better than the prequels.

[–] janelsenor (2048) 5 years ago

Revenge of the Sith is the worst of the saga entries.

However, none of the Disney Star Wars films are as good as Attack of the Clones, which is the best of the prequels.

[–] LordBAElish (2015) 5 years ago

Attack of the Clones is the worst Star Wars movie ever made
