I think Post Episode 6 EU>>>>>>Sequel Trilogy.

The Sequel Trilogy though did borrow from the old EU though but did in the worst way possible as they basically mixed LOTF with basically having Ben Solo/Kylo Ren being Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus(though they change Ben's ending) and Jaina Solo being Rey (Though they change her lineage) while doing the story from Dark Empire where you have a reborn Empire(The Final Order) and reborn Palpatine( Snoke in Episodes 7 and Cool and jumble both story arc up . The one major thing they didnt adopt at all from the EU is Luke's , Han's and Leia's arc after episode 6(though episode 9 fixes it for Leia and a little for Luke and Han) and totally botch it and the arc of those characters should have been borrowed from the EU.


In the EU the progression is natural with the Thrawn Trilogy, to Dark Empire to NJO to LOTF

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.


um what I think you are confusing AOTC Anakin with ROTS Anakin, Anakin was great in ROTS.  He was not a whiner in ROTS other than when he lashed out at the council and later with Obi-Wan about not being made a Jedi Master and given the fact that he was the first-ever council member ever to  not be made a Master and the fact he took down the leader of the Separatists(Count Dooku) he was more than justified to get angry at them.


He also was mad cause the council made him literally commit treason by spying on the elected leader of the Republic so the "whining" about that mission was fully justified. In fact that whole scene  from not being made a Master to be given that assignment to spy on the Chancellor was a huge step in his way of falling to the dark side as it totally undermined his trust in the Jedi.


Throughout the movie you constantly see that with Anakin not being sent on mission after mission despite all his heroism throughout the war fueled his anger. All this along with his fear of losing another loved one is what pushed him to the dark side and when he confided with Yoda about that fear, Yoda gave a terrible response. Instead of explaining  him how taking actions out of fear could lead to the very action he was so fearful about, he told him he should learn just to be content with what ever happens and he needs to learn to not be fearful.


Lastly is if Anakin was made a Master , his fall would have been avoided as all the ancient Sith artifacts in the Jedi Temple are restricted to Jedi Masters only. Then when Palpatine told him the story about how the Sith named Darth Plagues could save the ones he loved from dying , he could have verified if that story was true from the restricted section of the archives and when he would find nothing he would know Palpatine was either lying and get suspicious about him. At the same time he would also find out there is no named Sith named Plagues in the Jedi Archives(Since he was a Sith after the Sith completely went into basically exile in the 1000 years after their defeat) he would be even more suspicious how Palpatine even knows of such a sith and then it would be obvious only a Sith lord would know of such a Sith then could turn him in to the jedi council when Yoda, Mace and Obi-Wan were all present

I'll grant I never watched the prequels more than once, and it's been a while, but I'll stand by the idea that the only good thing about RotS was the action sequences.

You should watch ROTS again then , as maybe your view on that movie seems to be mixed with the things what were wrong about TPM and AOTC but not ROTS as you probably remember the prequels as a whole but not the individual movies .

Also the idea that its hard to imagine Vader being a whiny brat when he was younger is not far fetched at all .
