— Critical consensus, summarised
The second prequel — Anakin and Padmé in love, Obi-Wan in detective mode, and Yoda finally swinging a lightsaber. Long considered the weakest of the saga; Hayden Christensen's performance got the brunt of the blame, then the Disney+ era reframed him sympathetically.
