The Star Wars Prequels were significantly inferior to the Star Wars original trilogy

The heroes got to relax but it wasn't a day at the spa kind of relaxation, it was them trying to convince other nations to join their cause. It would have been easier if you saw LOTR but I'll try to explain how the two are similar, both heroes try to rally nations to their sides, trying to convince everyone of the imminent danger, while the nations weren't convince right away they'd get attacked by the villains. However because we all know anakin will soon become Vader and kenobi survive, the writing style wasn't to convince us that they may die. But the nations they are tryjng to convince will. Battles: You continue to say you show uninterest and don't care about the battles but you get what you put into it. Even though you know if someone is already going to survive or not, you can still enjoy the battles for what they were. Showing us the true threat of the force. The original duels were just light sabers clashing, while the duels of the trilogy was more intellectual, as they use their lightsaber and were using the force at the right time to turn the battle in their favor. If they used the force at the wrong time the duel could be lost. Sure Vader toys with Luke but after a couple tries it's time to admit he's not turning. Like a persistent guy trying to ask a girl for her number, that gets boringness and redundant. you said palpatine was in danger from losing to mace windu in the original palpatine. I'm glad you said that because that shows that palpatine truly convinced you that he was in danger, he is trying to convert anakin so this is a test to see if anakin would help him or not. If anakin wasn't there w would have easily killed mace. We are talking about the man who killed Darth Plagueis after all. Yoda I guess it's also a personal opinion, however the force allowed him to jump around as he did and fight count dooku. We are always told how strong yoda is how great of a warrior he is, however we never got to see it until now. Characters. As far as the Jedi council and qui-gon they aren't supposed to show any emotions, because that's how the Jedi's are raised detached from their emotions so that the dark side will not take them over. Lucas did that great because it shows how cultish the Jedi's are and that maybe perhaps their way isn't completely good. While the sith express their angry emotions to the fullest, maybe there needs to be a balance somewhere there. Queen Amidala also isn't supposed to show any emotions because infront of the republic emotions could be viewed as weakness. Just like in debating you must detach yourself from your emotions so that your arguments can't be used against you. E.g I can say your entire arguments are based off your emotional interest because you really wanted the prequels to be similar to the original trilogy so you felt let down, however that doesn't mean the prequels are inferior. Closing: even if you watched the original before the prequels you should be able to appreciate both trilogy. Watching the movies they are great they are not inferior to the original. Just because it has a different way of telling a story doesn't make it inferior. And if you take the original out of the equations you can appreciate the prequels even more because you don't know how things are going to turn out. The prequels did something most movies don't do. And that's letting the bad guys win. They broke away from the cliche good guy trumps all and are shielded from plot armor. That is definitely a rare find for movies. So if you enjoyed the original trilogy and say you are a true fan, you should be able to appreciate the prequels for what they were.
