Yes, the acting is better in the prequels than the original trilogy. The main character actors in the prequels had no idea what they were doing, and you could tell. I think part of that was writing, and part was inexperience on the actors’ parts. The prequels kept the bad writing, but at least had more experienced actors reading that terrible script for the most part, which makes a noticeable difference in acting quality. Keep in mind, the prequels have more characters in them than Anakin and Padme - I feel like you’re tunneling on those two.
