As bad as the sequel trilogy was at times at least it wasn't the prequel trilogy.

Prequels, how many ways do I hate yet, let me count the midichlorians.


Revenge of the Sith >>>>>>>>>> Anything from the Sequal Trilogy


As bad as TPM and AOTC were it didnt ruin a character like TLJ did to Luke so yes I agree pure movie wise TPM and AOTC were worse than TLJ but Star Wars wise TLJ was worse.

RotS ruined Anakin. Anakin could and should have been a tragic character, but RotS simply tossed what little was there was of his character thanks to TPM and AotC and made him into nothing but a horny whiny teenager.

The idea that horny, whiny teenagers can't also be compelling tragic figures is specious. Emotional immaturity is a totally valid tragic flaw.

Anakin was like 23 in revenge of the Sith

I'm saying "horny, whiny teenager" because Ernest said it. Parallel phrasing for parallel concepts.

That said, my point stands for horny, whiny twentysomethings too.
