Let me preface this by saying I was four or five when Phantom Menace came out and I was eleven when Episode III came out.
I LOVED the prequels as a kid. LOVED. I can safely say I've seen every one of the original trilogies twenty times. I used to watch them all the time.
Episode I when I was younger, I loved it. It was one of the first movies I ever saw in theaters. Darth Maul was the coolest thing I'd ever seen in my life at that point.
Episode II I remember not liking it as much for some reason.
Episode III was easily my favorite I liked how dark it was. I remember my dad said he wouldn't take me to see it because I "wasn't going to like it everyone dies."
The CGI is very good, but I do agree some parts are way too CGI as it looks fake. It did lead to a revolution of CGI which I admire.
The music is amazing and I felt it set the mood a lot better.
Darth Maul. I feel he should have been the main villain in the whole series similar to Darth Vader. Such a great character. He was the first bad guy I ever liked.
Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are great in their roles.
Lightsabers look awesome.

Lightsabers are cool. And the fights were flashy and well-coordinated/choreographed. And seeing Yoda flip around fighting Christopher Lee was pretty hilarious.
Oh, and they managed to shoe-horn Chewbacca into it. That was so ridiculous and unnecessary that I absolutely loved it.

Star Wars: Republic Commando.
Star Wars: Battlefront II.
Star Wars: Clone Wars - Genndy Tartakovsky cartoon series.
Those three things probably wouldn't exist without the prequels.

I really enjoyed watching Palpatine maneuver politically. I hated the Clone Army but I liked the concept of him secretly sparking a war as Darth Sideous so he could steal liberties and power as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Still, the whole Clone Army thing sucked.
Liam Neeson, and a few cool looking scenes.
But yeah, I complimented them enough and now am obligated to reiterate that they are - in fact - garbage.
I'll accept the awfulness of the films for Battlefront II alone. I love that game.

Ah, yes! Thanks for reminding me!ChupathingyX said:

Jar Jar Binks. What I actually found him to be funny when I was a good and i still get a slight chuckle with him around. Honestly, he doesn't deserve half the hate he receives imho.
The music was simply fantastic (Duel of the Fates especially so), the scenery was absolutely gorgeous (George Lucas, for all of his faults, is a very good visual director), and they helped give us the Star Wars Lego sets and by extension the Lego crossover games, which are some of my favorite video game experiences ever. They're far from the best science fiction movies I've ever seen, but I have seen significantly worse.
And after the abomination that was The Twins, Jar-Jar Binks is actually tolerable. Offensive he may be, I don't think George was being genuinely bigoted with him. Also, George was smart enough to lower Jar-Jar's role to a few small cameos in the rest of the movies, so he does at least listen to the fans.

i thought yoda's fight with darth sidious was pretty damn cool. also loved episode 1: podracer on N64. darth maul was cool, as was that alien with 4 lightsabers.... dookoo?
Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Chistopher Lee, the overall art direction, and Liam Neeson.
Seriously, say what you will about the prequels, but you simply have to admit that they're freaking beautiful, 'specially compared to the original's blander than a blandy Sammich with extra Bland sauce visuals, and I find that the soundtrack is superiour to the original trilogy's is. Seriously, The 'Imperial March' is the only theme worth remembering from the original, while the PT's have such beauties as 'Duel of the Fates' and 'Clash of the Heroes,' along with the ambient music in general.
Beyond that, the aforementioned Battlefront 2 and Republic Commando games, neither of which would have existed without the prequel trilogies. From what little I've seen of it, the Clone Wars is alright, but I haven't seen enough of it to judge it fairly.
Also, did I remember to mention Liam Neeson?

John Williams' score, as usual, was simply amazing. Other than that...well, the execution of Order 66 was pretty neat. Shame about everything leading up to it...and after it.
Order 66 when all of the random Jedi that were thrown in died, and Anakin stopped being a whiny *****. Oh and the KotOR series and SWTOR, seriously bioware has gave me new hope for the franchise(no pun intended).
I liked them all...in fact I'd rather watch #1 over #5
My favourite being 6th
Least favourite (i'm gonna need a flame fortress for this one)
A new hope #4. I've watched all of the movies a couple of times each and I just didn't like 4 or 5 at all really :/.
overall I liked the prequels more... (since the 6th won't make up for 4 and 5)
I'm not trolling, I'm serious
. just my opinion^ to be fair I haven't watched the movies in a long time though and i'm in the mood to form new opinions on things.
