George Lucas turned 80. Let's debate: Star Wars prequel trilogy vs. sequel trilogy


Even though Lucas actually directed all of the prequel films, the excessive use of CGI doesn't make these feel like a true Star Wars world. Was there a reason Jar Jar Binks was entirely CGI? Why was Yoda CGI?

Putting that aside, the prequel trilogy has a lot more unintentional laughs. "Nooooo!!!" is probably the one that stands out the most. What was up with Jar Jar's accent? Jake Lloyd was laughably bad. Hayden Christensen wasn't much better. Why was Yoda able to hop around the room even though he is thousands of years old and walks with a cane?

There's also the major mistake where we find out Anakin created C-3PO. This made us question why Vader never acknowledged his existence in the original trilogy even though he was right in front of his face.

Conclusion: sequel trilogy wins for me.

I would choose the prequel trilogy.
