You misconstrued my statement.
I've been on record for a decade at Chiefsplanet, pointing out all of the various flaws in the prequel trilogy, with AOTC receiving the lion's share of the criticism but with all three movies receiving their fair share (and probably, then some) of criticism.
But once again, the overall
story of the prequels, especially when coupled with the Clone Wars, is a very interesting and deep. TFA was basically a retelling of Episode IV, albeit, with new characters, which for me, was bland and boring.
The main difference between TFA and the prequels, IMO, is that TFA was well directed, well cast and well acted but with a weak story. The prequels were poorly directed, (mostly) miscast but with an overall more interesting story arc.
And the score? Forget it. TFA was awful, the prequels and OT legendary.
There weren't many, if any, parallels between the prequels and the OT whereas TFA wouldn't have existed without the OT.
