Are the Star Wars Movies Prequels or Sequels better?
Position1 of 2›

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.

Supporting arguments · 3

  1. The Star Wars Sequel movies had far better production value than the Prequel movies.
    George Lucas's direction of the Prequels made them a mess with poor direction, shoddy camera work, and unnecessary and uncanny CGI. The Sequels are simply better put together at the technical level.
  2. The Star Wars Sequel movies have better scripts and actors than the Prequel movies
    Dialogue in the Prequels ranged from nap-inducing to cringe-inducing, and the actors' performances didn't help. By contrast, the Sequel scripts pop off the page, and they're helped by great actors.
  3. The Star Wars Sequel movies add more to the world and mythology of Star Wars
    Though following in the footsteps of the originals, the Sequels added more to the Star Wars universe, boldly blazing new trails and making the Star Wars story richer.
