The sequels make the prequels look like Godfather I and II, LOL. I never understood the hate for the prequels. They weren’t brilliant like the original trilogy, but I thought they were pretty decent and they certainly “felt” like Star Wars, unlike the sequels where the plot was just regurgitated and all the characters felt so arbitrary and pedestrian.

Wow no all your arguments stem from you just being well to put it bluntly ‘aren’t smart enough’ to understand the story. Palpatine plan was manipulation how is that hard to figure out. Palpatine was Senator but wanted/needed more so he manipulated the blockade of his own homeworld to put a spotlight there to get him into position to become chancellor. You say depended on chance but you forget a certain force power called mine manipulation do you not think the Sith had access to same power if not even deadlier version where he pushed Padme and then Jar Jar to act is his favorite with their speeches to the senate. The Jedi weren’t an army they were never going to engage the separatists as such so their hands were forced. Jango runs from Jedi cause he couldn’t get captured and risk exposing who actually hired him, Sidious! Why cause the end game was always to spread the Jedi out thin the heard then execute order 66 and eliminate all of them. How hard is that to see. It’s simpletons like you that ruined certain things within the sequels. One being Jar Jar role which was supposed to be vastly different. Rewatch episode one again and look closer at Jar Jar he uses the force quite a bit. He was supposed to Sith, lord or acolyte we never got to know cause you naysaying asshats were to dam stupid to see things as they were. The prequels gave everything they were supposed to, showed us lightsaber combat that was only truly lore before that. The originals really were just thugs swinging baseball bats. The prequels showed the force and what was lost do to the destruction of the Jedi order. Really how can you say you even were a fan your not smart enough to be one.
