If I had to choose between watching prequels and watching the Disney trilogy, I’d choose the prequels without hesitation, even as bad movies, because there’s something there to observe that stands out. As you say, the Disney trilogy is boring and corporate with puffed up auteur slapfight characteristics explaining the whiplash between each of the three movies.
I have like, an academic interst in the prequels if anything. The content, politics, philosophy and all that and how weirdly bad it was all handled is just an endless source of interest to me. They’re just so fucking weird

I feel the same about Star Citizen as an ongoing 10+ year old accidental performance art piece of bad management and scope creep.
It also deflects from how big of a trek and Babylon 5 nerd I am
