That's one of the few things OB1 and I always agreed on (and hopefully still do), that the prequels are great movies. Attack of the Clones is the only movie I actually was excited enough for that I watched its trailers over and over before its release, for example, and it did not disappoint. George Lucas is a great moviemaker! The new post-Lucas Star Wars movies are so, so much worse than anything he worked on...
Oh, and for all the people who said, back then, that the prequels were unrealistic because there's no way a democracy could die like you see in the films... I hope that they've apologized, since we now have had real life experience in exactly how that can happen. Democracy isn't dead yet, but it's been pressured in a way those critics surely did not imagine in the early '00s. That wasn't very long ago, but it's enough...
