Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.
Danny just decides to lose her shit one day.

When episodes 1-3 came out they were widely regarded as awful. Your kids are going to think the end of Game of Thrones was good.
I think a lot of people got a bad taste in their mouth with episode 1 and they couldn’t look past it. I saw all three in the theater and I enjoyed them all, but the whole Gungan / Jar Jar thing makes episode 1 the weakest for me by far. The whole tone of the movie feels like it was aimed at a much younger audience, even compared to episodes 2 and 3.
Which is bizarre to me, since you have to imagine the core audience for those movies were middle aged people who saw the originals as kids.
Still, nothing is worse to me than episode IX. I’d watch a Jar Jar spinoff before I’d watch that again.
It was episode 2 for me. Everything was just horrible about that movie. Acting, plot, everything. I never watched 3.
Ironically, as an OG fan who really disliked the prequels (you can find my lengthy screed elsewhere in this thread) I thought III was easily the best of those three.
Yeah, everyone tells me that, but I just can't bring myself to care. Then again I watch maybe one movie a year, so I'm sure part of my disinterest in Episode 3 is my general disinterest in movies.
Fair. You aren't missing the pinnacle of cinema either. If you're going to watch one new (to you) Star Wars movie this year - make it Rogue One if you haven't seen it. It's the best Star Wars movie this century IMO. (By a lot.)
