.@CinemaWinner's admirable defense of the Star Wars prequel trilogy is a win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KSbwAJT8RE … I still find plenty cringeworthy, boring & insubstantial in the first 2, but on 2nd viewing, I even had to admit that Revenge was a powerful film; certainly more cohesive than TLJ
Also, the intricate analysis over the Council's failings & the real tragedy of the prequels is spot on. I ran the whole thing through my head repeatedly after my rewatch last year, there's no flaw in the arc's setup, and esp. of the payoff (except idiocies like the Midichlorians)
