I can 100% say that the prequels mostly suffered from:
a) Being too rushed and having too much stuff cut out
b) Having some of the worst dialogue writing and line delivery possible
Second problem was mostly solved by… insert drum roll Our Russian dub. Because the translators managed to salvage the dialogues and while keeping most of the original sense made them cosmically less cringe AND the dub actors actually managed to fix up the acting issues in terms of line delivery. Anakin instead of sounding like a little spoiled brat manages to deliver some MENACING SITH VIBES.
You wouldn’t believe how much it helps to sell that the guy is not just a whiny child, but an actual evil motherfucker who turned dark.
So yeah. With proper acting, better writing and more screen time it had potential to be good without the need to drastically alter what we’ve got in the end, I’d say.

I love the idea of translators fixing the dialogue because they hated him sounding too whiny lol.
