What if the Prequels were movies with the same actors, acting in the same way, to the same script, but had nothing to do with Star Wars? Would you still think they were full of mature themes, or that it's all a bunch of half-arsed tropes that panders to the lowest common denominator[1]?

Well, yes. My initial viewing was colored by expecting the same sort of story that the original trilogy had. The prequels ended up being a very different sort of story.

Doesn't this apply to all the movies you like too? What's different in the movies you liked? Are the tropes all full-arsed?
I know it can be hard to believe but not all movies are stitched-together sequences of tropes.

You're quite correct; that is hard to believe. Any mainstream movie (i.e. one that was available on a streaming channel or on TV at some point) you have in mind that isn't filled with tropes?
