Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.
Danny just decides to lose her shit one day.

When episodes 1-3 came out they were widely regarded as awful. Your kids are going to think the end of Game of Thrones was good.
I think a lot of people got a bad taste in their mouth with episode 1 and they couldn’t look past it. I saw all three in the theater and I enjoyed them all, but the whole Gungan / Jar Jar thing makes episode 1 the weakest for me by far. The whole tone of the movie feels like it was aimed at a much younger audience, even compared to episodes 2 and 3.
Which is bizarre to me, since you have to imagine the core audience for those movies were middle aged people who saw the originals as kids.
Still, nothing is worse to me than episode IX. I’d watch a Jar Jar spinoff before I’d watch that again.
These are the people they needed to draw in, but the real audience was their kids. They wanted to create a new generation of Star Wars fans, and they knocked it out of the park.
Obi Wan was the main character of the prequels but they kept thinking it was Anakin. Messes up the framing of a lot of events particularly in the first movie. By the third one I think they figured that out, but it has plenty of other problems even though the narrative focus was better.
It was episode 2 for me. Everything was just horrible about that movie. Acting, plot, everything. I never watched 3.
I liked episode 7. Never saw episode 8. Randomly saw episode 9 because the family wanted to.
I wanted to pull my hair out it was so awful. What did we spend, like a minute and a half on every planet we visited? It was giving me whiplash.
I was 12 when Revenge of the Sith came out and back then I would have agreed that Episode 3 was the best of them.
However, as I grew older it changed and nowadays I think Episode 1 is the best written of the prequels and the dialogue is much more cringe in Episodes 2 and 3.
RotS was the saving grace for the prequels. Otherwise theyre just lore notes that were adapted into clunky awkward movies.
