    Were the Star Wars Prequels Masterpieces All Along?
    23 Sep 2026
    George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels were mocked for the taxation of trade routes, tariffs, the blockade of Naboo and their heavy focus on politics, but decades later, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith feel strangely ahead of their time. We break down the politics of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Palpatine’s rise, the groundbreaking CGI and digital filmmaking, George Lucas’s world-building, and why fans have reappraised the prequels after Disney’s Star Wars sequel trilogy. Were audiences wrong about the prequels, or were these still deeply flawed movies built around a masterpiece of a story? ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️0:00 Intro0:58 The Politics of the Prequels4:23 The Digital Revolution5:26 World Building7:41 So… Are They Masterpieces? #starwars #george lucas Learn more about your ad choices.
