Literally nothing is wrong with it. Jar Jar was even a decent character too -- it was never meant to be a some sort of "deep masterpiece" -- it was supposed to be fun, and it was fun, I had fun, and millions of others did too.

Inspire that pod racing video game.

I almost beat the game when I was a kid on a pod racer without any upgrades because I didn't know how to use the upgrade system since I barely spoke English.

There came a point where it was literally impossible to beat a map despite doing everything perfectly

The prequels are much deeper and meaningful than the original trilogy. Literally the height of storytelling. After Disney finished butchering the franchise people will see that George Lucas is a genius

1) Maul vs Jinn/Kenobi in The Phantom Menace
2) The arena fight in Attack of the Clones
3) The opening space battle in Revenge of the Sith
4) The musical score
5) Palpatine
6) Every single new planet and location they introduce
7) Clones being the "good guys" instead of bad guys like pretty much every expected was a neat twist
8) Most of the new characters are really, really good additions to the series, like Padme, Jinn, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Mace Windu
9) Order 66
10) The fight between Kenobi and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith

I'll add this: the prequel movies had a lot of really great stuff come from it. The Clone Wars series and a lot of the games are an example of this. When the original trilogy came out, the stuff it produced just wasn't that great, like The Star Wars Christmas Special or the comics or the really bad video games. Even the toys were better, nostalgia aside. I didn't count this on the list because now I'm talking about something outside the movies, but I feel like it's still relevant.

These films were strangely comfy. I actually like all the talking and political discussions. It makes the world feel really lived in.

music was good
>>82174119
I hated them as a kid, I hated them as a teenager, now I hate them as an adult. Pure fucking trash. My nephews wanted to watch episode II with me and they fell asleep about halfway in because the pacing was so shit and the story went nowhere

>funny zingy lines that go well together with the characters saying them
>adding in a cgi rhastafari who steps in the doo-doo and gets to play an important role in the movie
imagine being such a pleb that you can't see the difference here

>It makes the world feel really lived in.
what? every scene that's not an action scene is literally two people doing days of our lives-tier dialog over a shitty cgi backround

Here's some replies I think I can predict getting:

>this firstmanonthespoon youtube video proves the maul fight was bad!
It proves the fight was a movie fight and not a real one, and the actors were trying to not injure one another because it's not a real fight, and you could do that with pretty much any movie fight and nitpick it just the same. In reality, when you watch the fight as it was filmed and not slowed down or looped, you really don't notice this stuff.

>you can't describe the new characters like padme
Padme: young, inexperienced, but deeply caring. She has a strong spirit and is willing to fight for what she believes in regardless of the odds, and is willing to sacrifice her own life for others.

Just because some people went "umm uhhh" when asked a question in a Youtube video doesn't mean no one can answer the question.

>the planets were bad they're all one biome worlds
Which is how most planets are in real life. Earth is an exception.

>a lot of what you liked is fights, star wars is supposed to be deeper
It's Star WARS. Of course I liked the fights. Star Wars has never been deep. It's always been a thing for general audiences. Get your head out of your ass.

>uh but i didn't like this?
Yep, there's also bad stuff in the prequels. It's not perfect.

>the prequels should have been like THIS
That's the problem: people don't like the prequels not because of what they were so much as because they never lived up to their imaginations. Thing is, they never could. I notice this in pretty much every criticism of the prequels (even Plinkett is guilty of it). You just kind of have to accept the movies as they are if you ever want to enjoy them. Otherwise, just ignore them and live in your own little headcanon.

see here's the problem; you have your hours of babbling about trade disputes and constitutional laws getting voted for in the senate. see the problem here?

the fighting gets dull when it goes on for so long. the last fight in episode VI might have silly choreography but you care deeply about all three characters in the scene, the music really amplifies the feelings of the characters, Luke and the emperor both are showing a lot of emotion.

We don't know anything about Darth Maul, or Liam Neeson either. Fight gets good when Obi-Wan goes nuts after Liam getting sliced but then all his feelings seem to disappear instantly and it's back to some boring ass video game looking cgi test.

FYI I hated all the prequels when I saw them as a child, too. I couldn't finish episode II because it was so long and I didn't follow what was happening.

Portman was attractive

Macgregor was okay casting but compared to the way he was originally written, he was a little to restrained

Maul was sinister, as a sith should be

Anakin's retarded behavior demonstrated just how far he was falling into madness, one second nearly killing Padme then the next telling Obi she would not be taken from him

showing the glory of the old republic technologically wise

that's about it
