wow you guys just complained that you couldn't keep up with a battle between thousands of clones and droids its a fucking war lol. then you complained about the Sith Lord being right in front of the Jedi this was explained in the lore.
The Politics of Star Wars reminds of todays politics with Angela Merkel being the Evil Chancellor, making war and betray thier own people and slaughter them and bulid a European Army and a Dictatorship for Elitist!

I love episode 3 idc
I liked the prequels, in fact I watched them before I watched the original when I first got into star wars I thought the stories were great
….exept they didnt
Bad acting, awful romance scenes, weak writing, forced original trilogy characters, political overload, the introduction of midichlorians, whiny Anakin Skywalker, plotholes as large as the Death Star, bad CGI, and Jar Jar Binks. Yeah, the Star Wars prequels are bad. The only good parts were at the end. Well except for Padme losing the will to live. That was bullshit. And to be honest, The Force Awakens wasn't that good either. Especially when you have a Mary Sue like Rey.
I can see why a lot of people hate the prequel but I have to Disagree with some of these i like the prequel. Though I can agree with 1 I hated jar jar binks
Lol Star Wars still the best movie trilogy of all time
Only Episode 1 sucked. Episode 2-3 were good enough and I loved it.

"Why did the Jedi not sense the Dark Lord of the Sith was around them all the time". For such deep questions, one has the legends universe. To make a long answer short: Shiv Palpatine had shown to be proficient in hiding his Force-powers at young age. At to that an ancient shrine under the Jedi Temple (or Senate) that was very connected to the Dark side of the Force and Palpatine's knowledge of such a shrine, and then you have a second explanation for why the Jedi did not sense Palpatine. A first explanation is "because the Force willed it". Not necessarily relating to the Prophecy, but more so because the Jedi themselves were hypocrits as well.
