The PT sucks as much as the ST. Sir! Revenge of the sith is a triumph! You can say whatever you want about the others but the greatness of that movie propelled the PT to where it is today. Hell they could have just done that movie. Yes it has glaring issues but it is a damn good star wars movie. No movie in the St came close to the music, character arc, fight scenes and emotional stakes. Watching ST felt like watching a corporate shell, a soulless and shallow experience. PT wasn't perfect at all but Lucas knew what he wanted and he tried his best and he knew what the story was going to be. Revenge of the sith isn't perfect but you can tell he listened to feedback and tried all he could to make the fans happy with that film and thats why people still love it to this day and a huge reason why we are here talking about Ahoka and Anakin instead of Rey and whoever is in her group lol.The PT trilogy still sucks as much as the ST. The ST being bad does not make the PT retroactively good. That's not how it works. The Clone Wars is what the PT SHOULD have been, not midichlorian counts, lousy & annoying child actors, trade embargos, etc.. Anakin per Obi-Wan was "the best fighter pilot in the galaxy...and a good friend". But instead of building on that Lucas made him a kid about 15 years Obi-Wan's junior and his padawan? Not a single OT fan walked out of TPM thinking that was a good idea. And then he jumps forward into a forbidden love story between an emotionally immature Anakin and much older Padme? Talk about a bad decision, and that's not even considering how woefully incapable Lucas was at writing a love story.
