I haven't seen either trilogy in total. But, come on, the Star Wars are legitimately terrible. The Hobbit is boring and mediocre, but it's at least decent. It has good acting performances, the dialogue makes sense, they're at least okay movies.
Star Wars Episode 1-3 are just awful. The acting is trash, the dialogue is horrible, the script is shockingly bad, just all garbage. The guy who plays Darth Vader is legitimately the worst actor of all time.
I feel like you're regurgitating what you've heard/read on the Internet. The Prequels were not great films by any stretch of imagination but we're still enjoyable.
The Phantom Menace suffers from a lack of a protagonist and an annoying 9 year old Anakin. There was also not enough of a focus on Obi-Wan or his relationship with the one who would become his apprentice. But it also had excellent performances on the part of Ewan McGregor & Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn. Darth Maul also had a terrific turn as a truly terrifying villain while also producing what was perhaps one of -if not the greatest- lightsaber duel in the entire saga with the Duel of the Fates. All in all, a mediocre go bad film.
The plot in Attack of the Clones simply dragged A LOT and the romantic sub-plot between Padme and the now whiny adolescent Anakin seemed forced and lukewarm. Hayden Christensen is not a bad actor, but a lot of the lines he was given and the part he was written made it nearly impossible for anyone to give a good performance in the role. The introduction of Christopher Lee and a possibly sympathetic antagonist coupled with the Battle of Geonosis and Yoda's first duel made the third act very enjoyable, but it is possibly the weakest film in the trilogy.
Now Revenge of the Sith was by far the greatest Prequel, and my favorite film behind ESB. The action sequences were all beautifully choreographed, from the Battle Above Coruscant to the Duel on Mustafar. And John Williams was in top form on the soundtrack, especially on Anakin's Betrayal and the Battle of the Heroes. Aside from a few lines of bad dialogue, this film was a beautiful peace of Sci-Fi cinema.
