Should the saga have been spread out more?

I think that a lot of hatred towards the prequals would have been avoided if the story was spread out over more movies. that way lucas could have taken his time and actually developed characters and story more-here's what would have been better-
Episode I-prequal to phantom menace
episode II-phantom menace
episode III-attack of the clones
clone wars volume I and II
Episode IV-First half of revenge of the sith with more details
Episode V-second half of revenge of the sith with more jedi purge details and more mechanical vader
episode VI-a new hope
episode VII-the empire strikes back
episode VIII-returen of the Jedi.

ok why a prequel to the phantom menace? and what about labirynth of evil and the book between ep III and IV as movies or in movies?

Instead of something before Menace there should be something between Menace and Clones, show the relationship between Skywalker and Kenobi.

Yeah.

I think 28 years and 6 movies was plenty.

How about we just take the original trilogy into consideration while we are writing the prequel trilogy.

I like that idea...

Meh... Prequel to The Phantom Menace could have been good, set thousands of years before it, ala Kotor.

here-here.

Agreed. Having MORE movies spread out over MANY years would be just silly.

I disagree, I'm all for more Star Wars movies, no matter what time period.

It'd kind of ruin things. It's the story of Anakin, the time span was just fine.

Indeed. THere is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Moderation is the key. ✅ Ya greedy kids. 😂

i don't think it's an issue of moderation, it's an issue of telling a story as opposed to an abridgment. and though i like what we have, i kinda feel like it's abridged

but lucas didnt get all the information in and left to many plot holes. i think more movies to answer the remaining questions would be great

No.

There's no need for any more than three prequels.

In my opinion six movies is perfectly fine. Lucas just did a bad job of fitting it all together.

A good storyteller would make six movies work quite easily.

yes and lucas is not a great story teller in his old age

The TV serie is going to be between Episode 3 and Episode 4. So I guess that should cover it.

Well, Lucas himself said that there is only a small percentage of the original script in Episode I and II. A lot of it, like the podrace, the attack on Amidala, and many other things were added to space out the movie.

Perhaps he could have used some of this time to show more of the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin, or maybe take the important parts in Rots and space them out over all three prequel movies.

But he didn't, so I guess we have to live with what we got. 😉

Unfortunately... 😛
