You didn't take any issues with Darth Vader and Yoda? |
Yoda? Not really. I would have prefered him to be a puppet for most of his scenes, but they didn't really screw much with his character. Darth Vader technically wasn't in them, at least not until the very end of Ep 3. As for Anakin, he definitely wasn't very good in the first two. In Ep 1, he was an annoying kid. In Ep 2, they made him much more whiny than he should have come across as. He was tolerable in Ep 3. It helped that they dropped the Gary Stu stuff they were going for in Ep 1.
My main problem with the prequels is that they had some good ideas in them, they just weren't executed well. The acting felt stiff and monotone a lot of the time. Darth Maul should have been developed better, as well as stayed in the series until at least Ep 2, where he seems like the main threat until Darth Sidious is revealed. Personally, I would have made Anakin the one to kill him. In Ep 1, Anakin should have been older, at least 13 or 14. In Ep 2, he should have come across more rebellious, but with a tendency to take things too far, and not just whiny. In Ep 3, there shouldn't have been the "NOOO!"
