Young Anakin in The Phantom Menace looking serious to the left and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith to the right looking curious in a combined image

Summary These 10 complaints about the Star Wars prequel trilogy have been the loudest, but not all of them are accurate. The prequel trilogy is largely beloved among Star Wars movies and TV shows now, but when they were first released, they were generally poorly received. In fact, although many now consider the prequels to be among Star Wars' best movies, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in particular, many of the initial complaints about the trilogy persist.

In addition to confusion over how midi-chlorians work, though, the prequels faced considerable backlash about the midi-chlorians making Star Wars too 'scientific.' The argument essentially boiled down to the Force being taken from something mystical to something biological. For the most part, this complaint is fair; the Force should be something spiritual rather than something one is born with.

7 Anakin Shouldn't Have Been A Child Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader Attack of the Clones saw the Jedi accept a mysterious clone army in their name that they had no idea about, join a war despite their galactic role being peacekeepers and not soldiers, and work even closer with a secret Sith Lord. For this reason, many complained that the Jedi were simply too flawed. While the Jedi were still clearly on the good side, and although complexity is more realistic, at times, this did go a step too far.

4 The Dialogue Was Poorly Written Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones One of the most famous complaints about the prequel trilogy is the dialogue, which audiences often found a bit on-the-nose or overdone. This was especially true for Anakin Skywalker's lines in both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Many of these lines, including Anakin's comment to Padmé about not liking sand, have become very commonly used in memes and remain popular jokes in the franchise.
