Unpopular opinion time-the Star Wars prequel trilogy wasn't THAT bad; it was the sequel trilogy (Force Awakens, Last Jedi, Rise of Skywalker) of Star Wars movies that was REALLY bad. Like-I've literally watched ALL NINE Star Wars movies-including the three sequel movies everyone says were awful-and comparatively, the prequel ones were not nearly as bad as the sequels. The things about the prequel trilogy people say are bad-bad acting, bad writing, too much politics, etc.-that's not even able to hold a candle as to how bad probably EVERYTHING is in the sequel trilogy. I honestly think I am being completely objective here-there's no bias here at all, although I first saw the prequel trilogy when I was a little kid and thus probably mainly enjoyed it and still do as an adult because of that. But yeah. The prequel movies-I don't think they're as bad as people say they are, and they're definitely "masterpieces" compared to the last three movies in the franchise (masterpiece term of course in quotes). Middle three movies (Episode IV V and VI) are definitely the best in the entire franchise. Prequel movies, objectively speaking, are "meh", and sequel movies are absolutely HORRIBLE.
Like if anyone disagrees with my personal assessment as always I respect your opinions but I think my analysis is actually pretty well-thought-out and accurate. Also yeah the sequel films sucked but I'm at least happy I've seen all of the movies in the franchise and at least saw how everything ended. I at least got that out of the sequels, even though all they were were essentially just slightly different repeats of the classic Star Wars trilogy, just set many many years later.
