I like the episode I duel

I like parts of episode II, including Kamino, Jango Fett chase, and the Jedi pit. I didn't mind seeing Anakin's revenge on the sand people as you got to see the roots of his dark tendencies.

I liked roughly half of episode III, its a passable film overall even just for lore's sake and witnessing how the chess pieces were set up for the OT.

Overall not great. I wouldn't voluntarily sit down to watch those films over others, but if they were playing on TV I might get sucked in.

The prequel bad and sequel bad are two different kinds. Prequels had a worthwhile story to tell, though went about it in a round about way and left a lot of "fat" in the final cuts.

The sequels didn't know what story they wanted to tell. They appeared to exist more for selling merchandise than for advancing the story in any meaningful way that wasn't retroactively harmful. They literally had to make up a villain on a whim for episode IX because the director of the middle chapter doesn't understand how a trilogy works. Utter trainwreck that should be decanonized.
