Are you suggesting that people unsatisfied with a system that works mainly in the interest of a small group of elites will give power to some narcissistic, sadistic creep just to feel some vicarious sense of that power? It’s not like that could happen in real life, certainly not more than once in modern history. I mean, come on!
Honestly, they’re fairly good movies. If Jar-Jar wasn’t part of them, I’d probably say they’re better than the originals. They at least have more to say than the originals.
The originals have a lot to say when you know the Rebels are the Vietnamese fighting America and it’s actually a pretty solid trope reversal on the Westerns, samurai films, and WW2 movies that influenced it but in a way that will let Lucas make a bajillion dollars.
It doesn’t really say much though. It’s inspired by the Vietnam War, but it’s surface level. The prequels have a lot more substance, although it’s still not that much.

For all its flaws the prequels overarching story is pretty great

For me it’s Hayden’s god awful acting in the second movie that kills it
