You use the term "more explored," several times. This is the problem with the prequels, nothing of any emotional weight is ever explored. As a result, Anakin's fall from the light side is nowhere near believable. He goes from being a Jedi to killing padawans in a matter of minutes. That's just fucked up and completely unbelievable. There is so much wrong with the prequels that it's actually more constructive to talk about the things that are good about them. Ewan Mcgregor is great as young Obi Wan. Perhaps the only bit of good casting in the entire thing. Literally, every other casting, with the exception of Christopher Lee is awful. Granted, that's primarily because their dialog is contrived and the story lines are terrible and there aren't real sets and.... Oh wait, I was supposed to talk about the good aspects. Yeah, Ewan McGregor is a good actor. But he was still made to do this: Unforgivable.
