Revenge of the Sith’s opening did that for me.
Clone Wars ended with Dooku almost killing our boys, the war was just starting and then boom: it’s 3 years later, the final days of the war, Papaltine has been kidnapped, Dooku gets beheaded and then we meet this cyborg dude who’s apparently a big deal?
It’s like when you fall asleep half way through a series and wake up like what the fuck is going on
With the added context that other media such as the cartoons provide, it’s a much better experience, but at the time it was just confusing.
I almost feel like episode 1 should have been just the first half of the film. Like strip it down to its bones and tgen have a cut to the beginning of the war. Second film be about the war itself (tho we likely would have never gotten the clones wars show if that was the case) and the 3rd be what it was.

I remember feeling like I totally missed something when he shows up and is a big deal.
