In the mood for some truly spectacular fight sequences, utterly stupendous digital effects, and the legendary John Williams once again knocking it out of the galaxy far, far away? Well, the Star Wars prequel trilogy certainly has you covered there.
However, if you're looking for an experience devoid of stupidity, infuriating occurrences, and straight-up dumb decisions, it'd probably be wise to spend seven hours taking in a different set of flicks.
Now, there's no guarantee that fixing or tweaking any of the following choices or moments would have resulted in Episodes I-III being universally adored in the same way George Lucas and co.'s prior trilogy of Force-sensitive adventures are. But The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith would at least be a whole lot less stupid, silly, or frustrating.
Did fans really need a bizarre link between a loveable droid and the most intimidating presence in the galaxy? What was wrong with the original version of one specific Force-using icon? And why, oh why did one epic new villain barely get a chance to show off what they could do with a lightsaber in hand(s)?
Brace yourselves, friends. Things are about to get dumb.
