Guilty pleasure: I really loved all of the boring political intrigue of the prequel trilogy and learning how the government of the Galactic Republic worked and how Palpy maneuvered into power and then overthrew the Republic and reorganized it into The Empire. I found all that boring shit fascinating, even as those films were, to their purpose, boring failures amd their stories told terribly. Because I’m a filthy neeeeeeerd.
For the PT, I was more interested in the story than the plot, and then relied more on Close Wars for coverage of the era, for Anakin story/plot, and, of course, Ahsoka.
