Sort of a retcon, but I argue that the entirety of the Clone Wars animated series makes the Star Wars prequels retroactively better. Hell, most of what people like about that era of Star Wars is in large due to the Clone Wars.

i grew up on revenge of the sith and the clone wars so whenever i think of star wars the first thing i think of are clone troopers, battle droids, jedi generals, badass heroic anakin, etc. still my favorite era at age 22

i love that due to our age differences we get an entire different rich backstory for Star Wars in our heads.

yeah, because it’s a huge tv show that they watched when they were kids. of course that’s what they’d associate with Star Wars

I'm trying to think of something the show actually retconned from the prequels. I think it just did a great job filling in the gaps between movies, better contextualizing the impact of major events.

Pretty famous fun fact, but I do love that the Clone Wars does gymnastics around Anakin meeting Grievous all for the sake of one line in Revenge of the Sith

A lot happened in 2 years. I feel like the clone wars should have gone on for like a decade but that wasnt an option for when they made the show.

If anything, it makes the prequels worse by really shining a light on how badly Lucas fucked up

I mean, perhaps. Although maybe it was more Lucas realizing he was best left as overseer, and allowed folks like Dave Filoni to assist in the minutiae of storytelling.
