The prequel trilogy constructive criticism thread

This is one of the reasons its my favorite PT movie.
It's not as inconsistent as it appears on the face of it. It's imply knowledge that we didn't have before, which, in some ways, does make sense, since the Jedi would have access to resources and knowledge that Obi-Wan probably didn't have time to impart to Luke.
Midi-clorians are also just a quick way to quantify Anakin's power, rather than showing it to us.
I like this thread. It's excitingOh look, this thread is still going.
Within the context of the Star Wars galaxy, "The Force" is something real. For example, when Yoda made Luke's X-Wing float through the air in ESB, it was actually happening, and it was a bigger deal than some spoon-bending illusion. Lightning shooting from the Emperor's fingers was also actually happening by means of "The Force," and not some fakery.

Wait, they aren't?
In my opinion Hayden Christensen did a good job with the lack of direction he had.
His performance in scenes like, The tusken slaughter and his confession with Padme, or the first act of ROTS were great.
If you want to see him act great watch the movie Shattered glass.

Yeah, George has a pretty bad reputation for not being much of an "actor's director" but more of a visual director. Lots of Star Wars actors from the OT and PT have criticized how he worked with them, or rather wouldn't really work with them too much.
I would prefer this. I was actually rather surprised by his general lack of presence in the films. I mean, it's known that Padme's entire subplot was cut out of ROTS, but I would have at least enjoyed a little bit more about Bail. Something that makes the loss of Alderaan more impactful.
I really liked Bail and Captain Antilles and would have enjoyed seeing more of them.
Oh my God! I can't believe this. Bail Organa as the main character of the Prequel movies. This doesn't even make sense to me. I can't believe that this is the kind of criticism I have been encountering about the Prequel Trilogy for . . . what? Seventeen years? Seventeen years of this? No wonder Lucas turned over the franchise to Disney.
Considering the amount of stupid dialogue I have encountered in the OT and in TFA, I'm surprised that you would complain about this.
More stupid dialog to excise: "This is so wizard, Ani!"

"General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars."
And then in the PT we see absolutely nothing of this.
No, this is a constructive critique.

For realisies? I didn't say the main hero. That's obviously got to be Anakin and Obi-Wan. But do more to set up why he took Leia as his own child. Show him being a man of high moral character who does what he has to. Or conversely show him go from an anti-hero to a hero. The prequels had no analog for Han Solo, which is one of the reasons that they didn't live up to expectations.
Trade federation disputes make me horny.
Yeah, but censored everything he said,
Also, having Han Solo would have meant a somewhat real real feeling character in the PT, and we can't have that now, can we?

Clearly you just don't understand the binary language of astromech droids.
