Most were Kaminos. 1 was Lisa Kudrow.

the best thing to come out of the prequels was easily the red letter media reviews

The reveals of the Darth Maul double lightsaber and the fact that Yoda was about to fight were both really cool.
Obi Wan was fine.
The emperor was good
In a meta way, I do like that Jar Jar binks was responsible for introducing the legislation that created the empire
Duel of the Fates was a cool song

So that's five.

I was really tempted to include Jar-Jar on my list. Realistically, he might be my #4.

5. Mace Windu's death scene
5b. Didn't Obi Wan have a rat tail in EP. I?

They really should have done a cut away right before Yoda fought. The imagination of what the fight would have been like was far far better than the actual fight.

Those space scenes haven't aged well. Look like PS2 cut scenes. That's the problem with CGI....what looks good today looks like ass 3 years later. Practical and models last.

the space battle at the end of Jedi is still the gold standard, and that thing is 30 years old. That shot from the POV of the alliance when the tie fighters swarm them is amazing.
