    I think the politics of the prequels is the best part about it. Including the trade dispute :p that’s why when you look at them as a whole they are so cool, even though many individual scenes are cringe. That’s what’s different in the original trilogy. There everything else is great but you never think about the overall story or do you? I don’t have to mention that the sequels have neither, right?

        Specifically, they had bad dialogue. The story was there.

        I mean - look at the scene where Anakin finally changes sides. He walks in and Palpatine is on the ground, defeated and unarmed. Then Mace Windu decides to kill him anyway.

        This is a betrayal of everything the Jedi are supposed to stand for. They’re not supposed to be involved in politics. They aren’t supposed to kill prisoners. What makes the Jedi better than the Sith? If both sides are the same, why shouldn’t he side with the group that won’t hold him back?

        The "story* laid an excellent foundation across 3 films to bring us that scene.

        Unfortunately the dialogue and the direction were shit the whole way through, so it didn’t work.
