The Prequel Trilogy's story is overall really good and quite bold for a blockbuster franchise that is made to appeal to kids/families. Showing Anakin's (the young hero) transformation into Darth Vader (who commits atrocities) and the fall of the Republic had lots of potential. The Revenge of the Sith novelization shows some of that, its far superior to the movie and really compelling.Sadly because of bad dialogue and lackluster acting the actual Prequel Trilogy was pretty disappointing and is basically there for Memes now.Then we have the Sequel Trilogy. It seems to be mostly better received than the PT so far but in my opinion the story being told is far worse.There is nothing interesting about getting a cheap rehash of the OT with the same old Empire vs Rebels (just with new names), again an extinct Jedi Order, Palpatine returning etc.There is this feeling of "been there, done that", it doesn't move the franchise forward in an interesting way (when you consider the possibilites, its a shame they went this way for the sake of nostalgia pandering).But it can't be denied that the ST so far has been well directed, has had much better dialogue and much better acting.Just my opinion. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2MNs2yf
