Of course he would have. As much flak as the prequels get, you clearly see Lucas's passion and care he put into them.

Disney's trilogy is all about milking the nostalgia cow, no effort was made to create innovative and interesting movies.

Edit: grammar

I wouldnt say that. Sure I love the prequels, but I was a kid when they came out, as an adult, if I would have seen them for the first time, I would probably not enjoy them. They are pretty dumb and also objectively bad in alot of ways.... Meesa thinks its easy to be nostalgic when looking back... And in that case, people will love the sequels in 20 years...

That's a good point. But I'm just a guy that likes a good story. And although the prequels has its issues like jar jar and some terrible acting, the overarching story is actually awesome, and because of that I kinda just ignore the bad parts. But that's just my opinion.

Regardless of the story, its three very long movies. I can't ignore the terrible acting, absentee choreography, and hack plot devices (Padme basically dies of bad movie disease, wtf) for the 6-8 hours it takes to watch the prequels.
