Must watch the punchline at 1:28 mark. The definitive conclusion of Star Wars saga, the ultimate cannon vs non-cannon debate stopper
I used to accept the prequels as canon, lately not so much.....they dont make the Jedi good+competent enough tbh (given the grip and totalitarian oppressive power the Sith have in original trilogy and Jedi in slow build up phase with rebels that sets up what the prequel ought to be).
Major hole is why they just leave Anakin's mom to be slave in tatooine....clearly knowing the risk something bad happening to her would impact Anakin (who Yoda already senses has negative mojo and is "too old" to start the training etc).
Heck given Anakin midicholorin count and JC like inception, I'd probably secure every last corner of Tatooine (cleanse out all riff raff gangsters and crime elements, everything) to be sure.
So the jedi clearly arent good enough morally and basic competency wise the way its written (among other issues, but this is a glaring one).
The fall to dark side could have been written a whole lot better basically, it would need something precipitated bigly by Palpatine (like say a jedi civil war or major factional strife, Dooku kind of stuff but far bigger etc)....rather than totally avoidable + random crap.
But yeah still oodles better than the sequels where disney full on rejected lucas storyline and dont release it to see what otherwise might have been.
