Something Lucas did well in my eyes was world building. To me that’s the most redeeming part of the prequels, the universe felt vast yet connected. The sequels felt small in comparison and a little too familiar. The only place I wanted to see more of was Kijimi.

I sort of agree. World building was good as long as it stuck to establishing interesting characters and planets, but George had the tendency to cram the screen with CGI creatures which served no purpose other than to dazzle and distract the viewer.
The prequels were ass, then they gave us 7 seasons of some of the best Star Wars content there is to fill in the gaps and make the story cohesive. Now I love the prequels.
With how bad the sequels are I can only assume the cartoon we get to fill in the gaps will be a fucking banger.
That’s ignoring a lot of context and nuance. The prequels we’re bad because of the dialogue, Anakin’s character development and CGI, but the story was always spectacular because it was created by one person with a clear vision. The “story” in the sequels is incoherent and an absolute mess because it’s a story told by a bunch of people who didn’t know where they were going when they started (or even while they were making them). Clone wars had better dialogue and fixed Anakin’s character development while also telling stories created by the same person who was in charge of the movies the show is proving context for.
If Disney tried making an animated show to flesh out the sequel’s, who would even be making it?
How have the sequels aged for you guys? I’m still personally disappointed by them
Still bad because the directors were somehow never capable of having a conversation about which way the story should go.
I will never understand that.
JJ Abrams admits there should have been a plan for the ‘Star Wars’ sequel trilogy
It still baffles me that there was no plan.
Better storytelling than the prequels, but there was no story to tell.
The prequels at least had a story, but it was told poorly.

I have a different take.

I dunno, jar jar?
He was for children.
Well, I’m disappointed with almost every Star Wars thing… just more with the sequels.
At the same time I like most of them.
