The Prequels were badly executed, but if you look past the bad dialogue, bad characterization, annoying comic relief, and overly long, stupid weightless CG action scenes, there were some interesting ideas. It had a coherent story arc.da PAC Nigguh wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 5:17 pmI might actually be on board with thinking the prequels were better, too. The prequels at least told a coherent story, albeit a shitty one, and clearly had a plan from the beginning. This Disney trilogy is just a cluster fuck.
The Sequels have no coherent story arc. The first one was a point for point rip off of A New Hope. The second one is a bunch of people blundering around confused about their goals and occasionally killing each other while everything that was set up in the first one is derailed for the sake of "subverting expectations". The dialogue feels more natural (sometimes) and the action is more grounded and real feeling and the set pieces and costumes feel more lived in instead of artificially sterile, but the plot is an aimless, unsatisfying mess. And the characters are just as bad.
So they're each a different kind of bad. Which one is worse comes down to personal taste.
