    The difference between the prequels and the sequels is that while a bit cheesy and having some cringe/dogshit dialogue in places the prequels have a solid storyline an arc.

    The sequels are just shit with only the Last Jedi trying to do anything, then when they made episode 9 they tried to backpedal and made a completely unwatchable piece of shit that makes no sense

        I also argue the world building alone makes them worth it. While the dialogue and plot had some issues, all the new worlds/aliens/the actual sith/etc. heralded in a new age for star wars.

        The world in the sequel trilogy is so small in comparison to either of the other trilogys.

        Revenge of the Sith has the best and most gratuitous action in the entire mainline series.

        So true!

        And I’ll also grant that the emperor’s guard fight and the force projection fight both count to redeem the sequels, a bit.

            Wait you turn to attack the protagonist. A nice orderly line for one attack and one counter.

            Then there was the guy who straight up dropped his weapon before his turn, but pretended he didn’t.

      I hated TLJ. I grew up on the OG and saw the awful prequels in theatres despite knowing they were bad.

      Too much bad writing. Too many plot holes. Too many monumental changes to how the universe works.
