Star Wars is a different story.

First of all, I would not consider the movies in each trilogy a sequel to its predecessor. The Star
Wars movies were conceived as a series. Series work as a unit that tell a cohesive story. I think
of the trologies as megafilms composed of three films each (the same way I consider the Baahubali
series I reviewed earlier a single megamovie).

Now, if you are comparing the original trilogy against the first prequel trilogy they made, things
change a bit.

They sort of pulled it off because the original trilogy tells the story of the fall of Darth Vader,
and the prequel tells the story of the ascension of Darth Vader. They are different yet similar
things that work together. Sort off. Still I am not very fond of the prequel because it feels a bit
dumber in general.

I know nothing of the others because I jumped ship rather than face the impending decline of the
franchise.
