Politics in film can be interesting when it is executed well. The problem with the prequels wasn’t necessarily the ideas, but the execution was just awful.
Kind of impossible to fix IMO. The editing and pacing isn’t particularly egregious. The direction, the dialogue, the stilted acting, and the overuse of CGI are the main problems, and short of cutting out the worst offenders, you can’t change that.
that’s sad. I hope this doesn’t come out as heresy to any Star Wars fans (I mean, I am one, but mostly for the games and the TV series) but I really wish they could redo at the least the prequels.
Like, I don’t know, maybe redo Episode I,2,3 in the style of the Clone Wars show, give a season with 6 episodes for each movie and really expand the idea better on them. Maybe I am the only weirdo who would like that lol
I mean - the scene where Anakin turns on Windu and joins Palpatine was executed terribly, but the bones of the scene were solid. Windu, the head of the “enlightened” Jedi order, was about to kill a defenseless enemy out of fear.
Anakin had never been trusted by the Council, but when he decided to show faith in them, the Council betrayed him by being no different than the Sith.
But the execution was terrible and it made the whole thing feel rushed and out of left field.

speaking of which, do you guys know of any good fan edit that fixes the bad execution for the prequels?

Disney:
Yeah. The elements were there.

Didn’t somebody make a cut where they just clean took out jar jar?
Probably, but Jar Jar was the least of that trilogies problems.
