The PT trilogy still sucks as much as the ST. The ST being bad does not make the PT retroactively good. That's not how it works. The Clone Wars is what the PT
SHOULD have been, not midichlorian counts, lousy & annoying child actors, trade embargos, etc.. Anakin per Obi-Wan was "the best fighter pilot in the galaxy...and a good friend". But instead of building on that Lucas made him a kid about 15 years Obi-Wan's junior
and his padawan? Not a single OT fan walked out of TPM thinking
that was a good idea. And then he jumps forward into a forbidden love story between an emotionally immature Anakin and much older Padme? Talk about a bad decision, and that's not even considering how woefully incapable Lucas was at writing a love story.
