Which do you prefer the Prequals or the Disney trilogy?

[Hector]

I did enjoy Rogue One and Solo(although not quite as much) and Mandalorian is super fun.

I like this guy...

[Hector]

Now The Mandalorian on the other hand (I know, it’s not a movie)...the best Star Wars since the originals.

[Hector]

I did like Rogue One though, by far my favorite Disney produced Star Wars movie...followed by Solo...

[Hector]

I dislike both.

However, I have to choose...there must be a winner...

Prequels: Horrible, horrible, horrible acting...I mean horrible. Did I say horrible? Yes, horrible. Lucas turned them all into cardboard cutouts. I love Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Liam Nesson, but they were acting like a cast from Turkish Superman. Hayden Christensen was at the front of all this bad acting. Jar Jar Binks, good grief. Trade Federation dudes with those horrid yellow peril accents. That kid, yikes. The pod race was something outta the Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. The ship/technology was more modern than the originals. Excessive CGI (that looks dated now). Too many boring political situations/scenes.

Nah, nothing you’ll say will change my mind, save it, lol.

Having said all that...PREQUELS >>>>>>>>>> Disney Trilogy

Why?

Darth Maul and his lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn DESTROYS anything from the Disney Trilogy...

...and it’s not even close.

Prequels wins by massive devastating knockout!

Game over, man.

my problem with Revenge of the Sith, other than the wooden acting and awful dialog, was that Anakins turn to the dark side happened too fast. I mean he went from being a Jedi/Hero, to murdering children just like that

For me this question is like - which do you prefer, malaria or tuberculosis?

The Force Awakens gave me a lot of fan service feels, which was the point. And I liked Rey. But the next two films left me flat.

The prequels were mostly boring and cringe-inducing. Watching RLM dismantle and mock them was 100x more entertaining than the movies..

[Mikey]

If all 3 prequels were edited down into one 2 hour movie it would probably be pretty good - at least on par with Return of the Jedi.

The prequels biggest downside was they were too boring and contained way too much exposition …. Nobody cares about intricate explanations of the Trade Federation's politics …. Just call them the good guys or the bad guys and go do something interesting and exciting.

[The Bat]

No contest for me...the Prequels hands down.I gave away my "Force Awakens" DVD...and have zero interest in the rest of them.

[Goblin19]

I like the Disney ones better. However, I thought Rise of Skywalker was the worst overall. I really liked Force Awakens and thought Last Jedi was interesting, if not altogether successful. The prequels were all okay. Revenge of the Sith is the best, but it still suffers from the same flaws as the first two. It just has more strengths. I don’t dislike any of the prequels. They are just deeply flawed.

[EMCE Hammer]

Prequels, but episode 1 is so slow for most of the movie, with a couple of bright spots. The other two worked fairly well (ending of episode III is rough) and I can watch those without cringing.

The Force Awakens had some good parts but it felt like all of the leading characters were forced down my throat. Last Jedi ruined many things for the new trilogy for me, and the Rise of Skywalker was fun, but I still didn't connect with any of the characters.

I did enjoy Rogue One and Solo(although not quite as much) and Mandalorian is super fun.

This is pretty much where I fall.

I find Hayden Christensen unwatchable, and the prequels could have been salvaged if Lucas had someone other than him direct, but his direction got the worse performance from Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson that I have ever seen. When I went to see Revenge fo the Sith on opening weekend, in a sold out house, people were booing it about 20 minutes in and by the end half the audience was heckling the movie MST3000 style. I haven't watched it since. It took my wife a long time to convince me to even check out the Clone Wars animated series (which I do like) because of how unwatchable I found the Prequel Trilogy, and I entered the theatre with so much anticipation when the Phantom Menace opened, but found nothing but disappointment.

The Disney sequels are flawed, but at least for me they are watchable.

[CrimsonGhost]

As absolutely flawed and schizophrenic as the Disney trilogy is, I like it better than the prequels.

There’s no point in listing all my problems with the prequels, so I’ll pick the biggest one. I can’t stand Anakins character in the prequels, and we should love him in order for his turn to be truly effective. The portrayal even undermines Darth Vader in the OT because now we know what a whiner he is under that helmet.

Thank the maker for The Mandalorian.

[Nostalgiabuff]

i actually thought Phantom Menace was the best of the prequels. the duel of the fates was simply amazing. AOTC and ROTS each had their moments but overall fell flat IMO. I still like them but they have some seriously slow moments and some really bad acting, with overuse of CGI

[Mr.Marion]

To each their own, but I'm really surprised to see so many people saying the prequels. As I said, I don't hate them, but I feel like there are good chunks of them are hard to watch, especially given how heavily Lucas leaned on the FX.

I get why people dislike the Phantom Menace but Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith have more to get into than the sequels.
