You want a damn cool fight with a sick soundtrack, you got the darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon

If you want a senseless yet cool as heck alien battle scene like the sarlacc pit one from the originals, you got the arena scene

If you want films that show the contrast of the days of the republic compared with the days of the empire, well take in the sight of these amazing costumes and locations.

If you want to feel the exact same thrill you felt the very first time you heard darth vader’s voice under his machine-assisted breathing as he shows up dressed in black with that iconic helmet and mask threatening Princess Leia then watch the original trilogy, because he sure as fuck isn’t going to be in the prequels; you see, Anakin Skywalker wasn’t darth Vader back then; check if your criticism isn’t coming from a thrill that you’re trying to seek in the wrong timeline.

I’m not saying the prequels are perfect. But I’m sick of seeing them being compared to the originals, which aren’t perfect either.
