Topic	Did you like the star wars sequel or prequel trilogy more?
Wii_Shaker 06/04/21 4:13:03 AM #39:	There are lots of things that I think the sequels did better but they almost all pertain to film-making and not the actual Star Wars franchise itself. The CG is loads better, you'd hope so 20 years later. The cinematography is better, so much that it's a crutch thats gets leaned into nearly every shot. The practical effects, sets and costumes are breathtaking, far beyond anything we have seen in the prequels. The dramatic tension of the prequels were deflated by the original trilogy. We all knew that Anakin would eventually become Darth Vader and that Obi-Wan would live to be an old man before meeting Luke.The prequels mainly existed to give depth to the lore prior to the empire's reign, which I'm grateful for because we got some incredible videogames and The Clone Wars animated series out of it. The current lore established by the sequel trilogy is shaky at best. The sequels weren't burdened by the previous stories, only it's lore and world rules. They could have done literally anything and told an incredible story that would leave new and old fans in awe but instead they didn't even bother. More cocaine went up the writer's noses than thought was put into the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the writing and screenplay at least. The production team knocked it way out of the park though. Recently, the prequels have felt very dry to me upon rewatches. Although I"ve hate-watched the sequels more times than I could count. I love Star Wars and always will but the mainline movies are a reverse shitburger. I've grown to accept and even appreciate Hayden Christensen's performance, it isn't perfect but all 3 movies have stilted acting and Natalie Portman's is worst than Hayden's. Boba Fett is my favorite. I love Jango and the clones too so of the prequels, Attack of the Clones is my favorite. The Last Jedi is still my favorite of the sequels but only because I think it's technically impressive and a living joke on how Disney could miss the mark so bad. I love the movie for all the wrong reasons and I hate that Rian Johnson feigns pride and refuses to admit even the smallest short-comings. I absolutely despise Rise of the Skywalker and The Force Awakens is a half-hearted handjob. I guess I like the lore and the world of the prequels more than I like whatever the fuck the sequels left us with. Disney is already hoping that good will towards The Mandalorian will be enough to keep fans hooked until they can scrub all of the shit off of the franchise.
