George Lucas and the posters of the Star Wars prequels

Summary The Star Wars prequels have experienced a period of renewed love after years of harsh criticism, but there are still several elements of those movies that could stand to have a facelift. George Lucas intended the prequels to “mirror” the original trilogy, providing backstories and origins for the characters and events that audiences came to love back in 1977.

10 The Clone Wars Gets Overshadowed All The Action Happens Offscreen! Close When Obi-Wan tells Luke about his history as a Jedi, Luke is quick to ask about the Clone Wars. Though it isn't mentioned in depth in the original trilogy, the way Luke talks about it implies that it was a well-known and influential time. The prequels provide the perfect opportunity to explore that conflict in greater detail, yet it isn't until the TV show that the Clone Wars really get much attention.

8 George Lucas Didn't Commit To Jar Jar Binks Just Another Pathetic Lifeform? Close Though he’s been embraced by fans in recent years, Ahmed Best's Jar Jar Binks was a polarizing character from the beginning. His role as a comic relief character often felt contrived, and he ultimately seemed to serve no larger purpose. His introduction in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace set him up to be important, but he quickly fades out of the spotlight as the trilogy goes on.

The fact that Anakin went through multiple lightsabers doesn’t diminish its importance to Luke, nor does it make it a less effective weapon. After all, Luke loses that lightsaber himself two movies into the original trilogy. But with the added significance to the lightsaber in the sequel trilogy, it feels a little odd to go back to the prequels and watch Anakin give such little thought to it.

Darth Vader had been the only Sith apprentice to have had screen time by the time the prequels were made, and he was a formidable enemy. He played a crucial role in the originals, and the idea that he was only the apprentice only made Darth Sidious more terrifying. Darth Maul and Count Dooku are incredible antagonists, but neither of them seem to stick around long enough to make their marks on the trilogy as a whole.
