The Star Wars prequels have some of the worst dialogue I ever heard in a movie. The only characters I liked are the baddies: Darth Maul, Count Doolu, and Senator/Chancellor Palpatine. The Red Letter Media epic take downs on YouTube of these movies is a must see.

Return of the Ewoks sucked also

Exactly. I saw the first prequel in the theater and couldn’t follow it. The rest I waited to see on tv, and they are all unwatchable.

I didn’t think that anything could be worse than the first three. But I was wrong
BTW: “Live long and Prosper” is a better salutation than “The Force be with you”

ALL the Star Wars movies are bad....they basically are just bad Spaghetti Westerns in Space.
To: C19fan
The muppet-like appearance that the characters began to take on, even in the third installment (Episode VI - Return of the Jedi), killed it for me. They became the equivalent of a made-for-t.v. after school special.

“Star wars” and “Empire” were great fun and none of us took them seriously. “Return Of The Jedi” started out OK but then just sort of fizzled.
I do think the Ewoks were the worst thing in all of them. Even worse than Jar Jar, who we could at least not take seriously.

I first saw the prequels on a Christmas week Star Wars TV marathon. I never even knew they existed until I saw them that day. (I don’t “go to” the movies) I specifically remember wondering if they were crowd funded fake movies... yes, they were that bad.

The first two (IV & V, that is) at least didn’t try so hard. They were light-hearted enough that you could enjoy them for what they are. There is something freeing in that.

The prequels make a whole lot more sense when you realize that JarJar was in fact a Sith master extraordinaire, as evidenced by his knack for being around major galactic-political events and killing vast numbers of opponents via the Jedi equivalent of “drunken Kung Fu”. This is explored & explained in ridiculous detail elsewhere, easily searched for.

The first 3 movies back in the 70s were good. Haven’t cared to waste my time or dollars on those that followed.
