Who wouldn’t? The problem with Episodes I and II is that they deliver none of the backstory that still to this day makes Revenge of the Sith the best instalment in the franchise. Of course we were intrigued to see how Darth Vader turned to the Dark Side, how the Jedi were all but wiped out and how the Empire came to rule the galaxy. Their crime was in promising the world, only to deliver a shiny bauble. The apologetic deluge of trade agreements, some pretty feeble child acting and Jar Jar Binks certainly didn’t help when the series was regenerated over a decade ago, but on reflection The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones weren’t awful, just mediocre. It’s understandable then, that the prequel trilogy to the original Star Wars films continues to be the source of much opprobrium.
