Poorly acted main character - yes child version and adult version, shit ass villian in 2 and partially 3, racist caricature of bojangles in 1 and 2, padme dies of “sadness”, the “objectively good” jedi gamble a childs life, fucking star wipes for every damn scene change, poorly fleshed out bad guys in 1, stupid-ass midichlorians and these are just off the top of my head.
And lets not forget george lucas forgoing practical effects for cg that did not age well at all.
There are plenty of good reasons to not like the prequel trilogy and it isnt just “cUz InCeLS” lame ass shit.
There’s a weird subset of people that got introduced to these films through the memes that didn’t watch the films without that. So when it’s not The Room level bad they think it’s okay. Not realizing these were major blockbusters at the time with insane marketing. Expectations are a bit different lol.
After watching the sequels I personally appreciate the attempt at telling a different story and if some of the motifs were fleshed out they could have been real cool (like the Jedi being more of the bad guys in the beginning). But they didn’t and the execution, for all of the reasons you mentioned, is atrocious.
And yeah the amount of racist caricatures in the films is absurd.
You dont get the hate for the movies?

You forgot Jarjar was actually a sith and Lucas pussied out due to fan backlash
Would have been a great reveal too.
I don’t think Jarjar has a canon death. He could come back as an older, darker, more serious villain in Mandalorian or something. Grogu vs. Jarjar.
He should’ve been snoke or at least the one puppeting him, not the bullshit they pulled.

Please, tell us how you really feel about the prequels.
Exactly the prequels and the originals are shit. The new trilogy is where it’s at! Great writing, amazing actors, better CGI.
CGI is part of why the sequels are shit.
Wait what…noo!
