PT What is your favorite prequel film

I was really torn up about this answer because i really love Revenge of the Sith but Phantom menace is very good also. But i would have to say the revenge of the Sith has more moments that i like then phantom menace.. like Phantom menace has prebuilt C-3PO which i really enjoyed, and pod racing plus Qui-Gon Jinn. but revenge of the Sith has The start of Darth Vader, The fall of the Jedi order, Order 66, The most badass fight scenes i have seen in any star wars movie (not the best just saying the most badass)and the most surprising ending in any star wars movie.(the first time i saw it i was just....i cant describe the feeling of seeing several Jedi's getting slaughtered

 

I absolutely love all 3 films, they each offer something different to the saga.

I always really enjoy watching TPM, but ROTS is ultimately the culmination of the prequels and in some ways the Originals and for that it has to be at the top for me. It’s my favourite Star Wars film out of the whole lot

 

Revenge of the Sith is definitely the best especially it's tie-in video games! Anakin becomes an absolute monster in those games.

 

Love all 3 movies but ROTS is my favorite.

 

ROTS. Its everything that makes SW so powerful. But I love TPM too. Its such a vibrant and unique film in its own right.

 

It's a tie between AOTC and ROTS.

 

sith by a long way... if we not counting Rogue one

 

As much as I like the first two PT films i would be ROTS is the PT film which is my favourite. It is the one I have watched the most times and as much as I like the other two this was the one part of the PT story I was most looking forward to.

 

The PT as a whole lol.

Seriously, it's impossible to pick up one for me, precisely because all three work as a unified narrative, going from light to dark. It would be "easy" to say ROTS is the best/favourite, but the movie works thanks to the previous two establishing and developing the characters and storylines.

TPM is a lovely film, it's sweet and innocent, with bright colors, three very distinctive environments, clear and classic narrative structure, a strong lead character...
AOTC is epic, ambitious, it has an old fashioned love story, a film noir kind of mystery, five planets, crazy action sequences... science fiction at its best. And of course, (in my opinion) a very relatable story of a teenager going through a lot of hard stuff. I can relate to Anakin better than any other character, to be honest.
ROTS is a sweeping tragedy, very emotional, pretty much perfect. The way it transitions from a fun, galactic action piece, to a more serious character journey, to a tragedy, and finally to hope is brilliant.

 

I can't really choose a favorite between the three.

Each prequel film has things I love about each of them.

It's odd because I can tell you my favorite film from the Original Trilogy, but I generally struggle choosing my favorite from the Prequels. Probably TPM if I absolutely had to choose. But there's so much great stuff in AOTC and ROTS.

 

good summary that.. i often see ep1 as like a Ben Hur type classic.. aotc is a flawed gem of a b movie faithful to the Saturday matinee adventure reel/flash Gordon origin of star wars and sith is like a Greek tragedy... Sith still wins for me

 

AOTC. Not just my favorite prequel but my favorite of the entire series.

 

Definitely Attack of the Clones. It's everything a middle installment should be.

 

The prequels are actually my favorite out of the whole saga, but ROTS is heads and tales above the rest.
AOTC is second, and TPM a close third.

 

Well . . . I realize this should not be surprising, but my favorite PT movie is "Attack of the Clones".

 

TPM. I think it's Lucas' most auteur film, most uncompromising. Also the happiest SW film, so it always puts me in a good mood.

 

I usually say I like all six equally, but I believe I've seen ROTS the least in these past 15 years, mainly because of it being such a heavy hitter. There's always this underlying sense of dread that is pretty defeating. TESB has that too, but Lando already gives us hope when talking about a concrete plan to rescue Han. In ROTS we've lost one, technically two of our three protagonists and the galaxy is in for 19 years of dictatorship.

 

I love them all but ROTS is my favorite.

 

AotC. It's got the most variety in tone; it's the nice "grey" in between TPM's light adventure with Jar Jar and RotS's dark tragedy with Anakin.

 

favorite to watch? The Phantom Menace. is it better than Revenge of the Sith? no, but i like watching it the most.

 

I just want to say I really appreciate your posts on the merits of the PT films. They are a joy to read.

 

I second @wobbits on your posts @devilinthedetails

You put a lot of time and effort in expressing your enjoyment of the PT. Unfortunately, a lot of great PT defenders have disappeared or been banned in the last 5 or so years, so its nice to see someone so passionate about the details (no pun intended) to be found in what I consider to be George Lucas's magnum opus in worldbuilding, character development, and storytelling.
