I kinda liked Episode 3 and was thrilled at how raw and emotional the fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin felt, like they'd finally abandoned the overly choreographed dance-fighting from Ep 1 and 2. Then came that part where they stood right in front of one another and twirled their lightsabers around nonsensically for almost a full five seconds without any clashes. And then the ending where Obi-Wan is like 'HAHA the high ground means I get an attack of opportunity' and Anakin is like "NOT AFTER THIS REFLEX SA...oh fuck I rolled a 1".
I can forgive the Vader noooo because at least it made for some fantastic memes.

Episode 1 was the best of the three and that isn't saying much. I think that mostly boils down to the fact that everyone was so optimistic and there was still two movies left, so there's a nostalgia. It's also more care free because they didn't have to randomly figure out how to insert a war with clones because of a throw away line, nor did they have to tell the entire story of the fall of the Republic in one movie because they forgot to put it into the other two.

Nah, Obi Wan/Anakin from end of 3 was the best fight of the prequels. Yes the one twirling scene and the high ground shit was over the top, but the rest is still best live action lightsaber fight.
Also bless that throwaway line forcing war with clones...b/c it ended up giving us the Clone Wars animated show.

Prequels are good only if you see them as a forward thinking Palpatine wanting to purge a bunch of religious kooks out of control of the galaxy and establish actual law and order. He is the hero and finally manages to break the hold of the child kidnapping religious secret society that were running things to the point where teenagers were immediately put in charge of entire armies with the fate of the Republic on the line. It still incredibly dumb, but if you look at it with Pappa Palpatine as the protagonist, it gets stronger at the end.
Really though, it completely destroyed the entire Darth Vader mythos, by having Anakin/Vader consistently be one of the most incompetent characters ever. And for all of the flaws in Ashoka, I don't blame the actor one bit. Lucas turbo fucked his own legacy and destroyed his prize villian..... or at least I thought that until I saw the fucking Obi Wan series.

Proof this guy is insane, the ep 1 final fight is the best in all 9 movies and hasn't come close to being matched
The reason tpm is the most watched is because people who watched prequels as kids love the prequels and now they're adults

I can understand if someone thinks final fight of 1 is the best, even if I think they're wrong.

I really liked yoda vs emp... mostly cause the emperor just looked like he was having so much FUN, but I love me the heck out of some overacting villains. He could have been fighting a bowl of ramen and it'd still be my favorite fight of the prequels.
What really confuses me is the younger crowd legitimately thinks the phantom menace was a really good movie...
