- Question
Are the Star Wars Movies Prequels or Sequels better?
Star Wars is a beloved movie franchise, and Lucasfilms attempted to expand on that franchise with a trilogy of prequels - The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. But it was met with heavy criticism and despised by fans. A decade later, Disney would try their hand at making Star Wars movies with the Sequel trilogy - The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. Unfortunately, these movies were also met with a frosty reception. Comparison between the two trilogies is inevitable... so, which were better? The Prequels, or the Sequels?
The Sequels are better than the Prequels
This position holds that the Star Wars sequel trilogy is better than the prequels. It argues that the sequels boast far higher production values, stronger scripts and performances, and that they add more to the saga's world and mythology than the much-maligned prequels did.
The Prequels are better than the Sequels
This position holds that the Star Wars prequel trilogy is better than the sequels. It argues that the prequels tell a more consistent, coherent story, add far more to the saga's world and mythology, and have proven more iconic than the sequels that followed.
