I wasn’t born yet when the original trilogy came out in theaters. The first time that I watched those movies was on VHS, the 1997 editions. Yes, Lucas edited them to tie in the prequels with the original trilogy… to mixed opinions.
Though I initially enjoyed the prequels as a kid, as I grew up, I did start to see some issues with the prequels. Absolutely agreed that Anakin and Padme’s ages should have been similar, like in line with the actors’ ages during Episode 2. Han and Leia also had a bigger age gap, and so did the one terrible pairing that shall not be mentioned in the disney sequels. Very odd indeed.
Hayden did his job, he was trying to emulate Darth Vader’s cadence before he ‘went in the suit’. Could the direction and execution have been different? Maybe, but I didn’t have any issue with his portrayal.
The Filoni Clone Wars animated series is ok imo but at least it did its job of expanding on the prequels. Filoni worked with Lucas but at least he continued the original vision in his own way. I remember the 2d micro series tho, which was different and focused more on visual storytelling.
I think it’s more like Star Wars under Disney is losing its mystery with every single detail having to be explained in a book or a tv show. It depends.
