Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor Riz Ahmed shared his thoughts on the controversial prequel movies. He made it known that, while he doesn’t enjoy certain elements like Jar Jar Binks, he appreciates the politics and serious tone.
“I did not have a massive problem with the prequels at all. There were some elements that stood out. Jar Jar Binks, I didn’t enjoy him as a character. But people had a problem with them because they weren’t broad and tough and cheek. I enjoy that. I enjoy the fact that it was about grown-up politics and the dissolution of the League of Nations and World War and the rise of fascism. I really enjoyed that, and I really enjoyed Clone Wars.
I really don’t see what the big problem is, to be quite honest. If all Star Wars movies were the same, it’d be boring. I hope each new movie adds a new dimension, and I think that’s certainly what Rogue One does.”
In many ways I agree with Amed. Whether you like the actual films or not, I think all Star Wars fans can appreciate the lore and story that Episode 1, 2, and 3 gave us.
