How do the prequels enhance the original Star Wars trilogy?
from WhoDatJedi Podcast · host whodatjedi
On this, the 91st episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- address the Star Wars prequels (Episodes I-III) and how they enhance, rather than detract from the original trilogy of films. Slagging on those movies as "ruining one's childhood" has been an easy and popular thing for fans to do for a long time, but why can folks ultimately be glad that they exist? What do they do well? And what things in particular do they do that make our enjoyment of Episodes IV-VI even greater? If you're a prequel hater, maybe this episode can give you something new to think about. And if you're a prequel lover, this is definitely the episode for you.
