The Prequel Trilogy is George Lucas's return to Star Wars, the three films charting how the young Jedi Anakin Skywalker fell toward becoming Darth Vader. The Phantom Menace (1999) introduces him as a slave boy on Tatooine, Attack of the Clones (2002) pushes the galaxy toward open war, and Revenge of the Sith (2005) delivers the Republic's collapse and Anakin's final turn to the dark side.
The prequels were divisive on release, criticized for stiff dialogue and heavy digital effects, yet they have been steadily reclaimed by a generation that grew up with them. Their world-building, political intrigue and lightsaber duels have aged into something fans now defend fiercely. This entry covers the three films only.
The The Prequel Trilogy franchise spans 3 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
