Ah I liked the overarching story line of the prequels a lot. It had some great elements. I would argue that the acting of people like Ewan and Ian and Liam to be far better then the acting in the sequels which ranged from flat to in a lot of cases uninteresting, and sure a lot of that had to do with how the characters were written. In the end by the last movie Finn's role was stripped down to woo's and excited shouting, but he had nothing else to do and no real story in the end. Poe wasn't good from the start, and his story line of growing as a leader in the second movie wasn't that well executed. I think Daisy and Adam were the best of the lot, but Kylo's character was really not great.

At the same time, they wasted so many great opportunities. Gleason is a great acting who became a flaming idiot in the second movie and a wasted second in the third movie. Ian coming back as Palpatine should have been amazing, instead he was really a monster of the week throw in who really wasn't Palpatine at all.

The thing with the prequels is that the story was interconnected across the three movies, with the fall of the republic and the end of the Jedi and the machinations of Palpatine to get there and get his apprentice. Even in the second movie we really only saw Sidious for 8 seconds at the end, but you could see his finger prints over all of it and I loved that.

When you go back and watch the Sequels, the story is so unconnected between the three movies because of the awful writings and throw aways of the second movie that they might as well have been three separate stand alone movies.
