Of all Star Wars on screen, the prequel trilogy has by far the most engaging π΄π΅π°π³πΊ. The story of how a man and a society falls from grace to serve to serve evil lends itself to endless analysis and introspection.
The original trilogy tells a timeless tale with many visceral themes, but itβs story is much more simplistic. Itβs story of the power of love and redemption for a man and a society is only complete when the originals are couched in the world of the prequels.
ππ©π¦ πππ°π―π¦ ππ’π³π΄ (and to a much lesser extent ππ¦π£π¦ππ΄) embellishes the tale of the prequel trilogy and adds that much more meaning to it. Very key pieces from the planned seasons 7 & 8 are missing which is why Iβm sorry we didnβt get them.
By contrast the Disney Star Wars sequels are much less endearing because theyβre completely devoid of story. Worse still, each film has a completely separate story and doesnβt serve the cohesive whole. There will be no rehabilitation of it like the was for the prequels.
In that way, this is part of why ππ©π¦ ππ’π―π₯π’ππ°π³πͺπ’π― feels comparatively empty. Itβs story is both separate from the Skywalker saga (the one established by the π₯π§ππ¦πͺππ‘ trilogy) and tells a simple story: guy forms lost kid and goes on adventures. Richness lacking.
