I started watching all of the series (all films + The Clone Wars + Rebels) in chronological order tonight in preparation for The Rise of Skywalker. I've actually never seen Solo, Rebels, or all of The Clone Wars, so I'm excited to get to those...
... but god damn, the first two prequel films don't hold up well. The podracing scene and final act for The Phantom Menace are okay and great respectively, but the rest of that movie is so boring. And I haven't finished Attack of the Clones yet, but about forty minutes in, the only good scene so far was in the bar when Obi-Wan and Anakin were hunting down Padmé's would-be assassin. Aside from that, the only thing on my mind so far is how much of a fucking creep Anakin is when it comes to Padmé. Dude gives me the chills, and not at all in a good way.
Can't wait to get to The Clone Wars, because that's when the quality should start going up, I think. I've only watched a few episodes of it before, but I remember it being entertaining for the most part.
