The prequels unironically being George Lucas doing the political backstory for how a Galactic Republic falls into fascism is so good. For Star Wars. It's genuinely this hugely planned coup that involves the banks, the military, emergency war powers etc.
It's the silly movie series about wizards with laser swords and then the first prequel movie is like "The space wizards must attend a negotiation to deal with the dispute regarding the taxation of trade routes" and you know you're in for good shit.
