* LOTR, movies or books, do not count, as in both cases the author/filmmakers made them as a single unit and released them over time

Like, let's look at trilogies: Batman (Nolan): good first entry, legendary second, middling third Mass Effect: great first, great second, great third but with an abominable ending Star Wars: great first, great second, abominable third

With the prequels the third one was the best, though that was because the bar was really, really low (and #3 just barely comes in under the "last 15 years" wire).

I also feel like there's a not-insignificant "AotC was the worst prequel" faction among Star Wars fans, which is the opposite of how trilogies usually end up. (I felt that they they got better as they went, but frankly, they started out really bad so that's not saying much.

Yeah, and I *mostly* don't agree with that faction either, but on the other hand... Phantom Menace was the most embarrassing of the three by far, but I remember most of what happened in it. Attack of the Clones, I enjoyed more at the time, but it just slides out of my brain.

As a member of that faction, I will say that while I don't think Phantom Menace is a GOOD movie by any means, the "course corrections" made in AotC are just Lucas clearly abandoning his original ideas for the trilogy in favor of fanservice without actually getting better ideas

Nothing in TPM, awkward and bizarre and misguided as that movie was, felt *perfunctory* in the way that all the Anakin/Padme romance did in AotC

TPM is the only one of the three that I can actually REMEMBER, tbh. I am AWARE of the things that happened in the other two, but mainly, I suspect, because I am aware that they HAD to happen to "get" to New Hope

Yeah that's why I don't even like RotS, no one really behaves like a human being in that movie, everyone's being pulled on puppet strings to just force the Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker to wrap up on schedule and set up the story we already know

At the cost of turning Padme into a cardboard cutout and Anakin himself into this deranged, unhinged Tommy Wiseau archetype spewing emotion all over the place
