Ie as so angry that I didn’t bother to watch AotC or RotS in theaters.I watched AotC years later when it was on TV.I don’t remember when I first watched RotS but it’s the only one of the prequels I have on DVD. I really like the novelisation of RotS too. I think it does a much better job of selling Anakin’s fall. (For instance, instead of just protesting him as a whiny baby when the council refuses to grant him the rank of master like in the movie, the book establishes that Palpatine has told Anakin that the Sith secrets to saving Padme’s life are in the Jedi Temple library’s restricted section, which only a Jedi Master is allowed to access. So the reason he’s upset about being denied master status isn’t because “it’s not fair” but because he feels he needs that status to save Padme.)I have rewatched TPM more recently and felt it wasn’t as bad as I remembered. That being said, it could really do with a glow-up, especially the battle between the gungans and droids. It LOOKs unfinished and very green screened. The terrain in particular …)I’m not sure anything can be done to save AotC. Everything about it is just leaden – the acting, the fight scenes. It’s all so boring and cringey.RotS has some flaws but it really is the best of the three. I will happily rewatch it and have done on multiple occasions.</blockquote>
