I feel like people believe this because the next two movies were so awful. I’ve always felt like the force awakening was worse than the prequels. None of the good story telling from a new hope was transferred.
Stunning visuals maybe but damn the story was bad and ruined any internal consistency of the space battles in the entire franchise. Rogue one is the only good Disney SW movie, Solo is fine too
nah. the sequels were fun in an initial watch, but have no staying power. they are just bullet point reshoots of the original trilogy. the prequels have issues but at least they are actually original ideas.
I can’t say never, but TRoS is a fucking awful movie (not just as Star Wars, but a terrible cinematic experience) and I think it’s really damn hard to redeem a trilogy with that as a bookend.
Also the fact that the second and third instalments barely feel like sequels let alone continuations of storylines retroactively made The Force Awakens worse. And it was only kind alright before.
People still want a good Star Wars sequel.
Hope burns long.
Andor is a good Star Wars sequel… to the prequels
My wife asked me when we’re watching Star Wars. I told her “When the story is finished”.
From my point of view Star Wars was finished the second Disney acquired it.
All Star Wars suck balls.
I can’t believe people like it for any other reason than nostalgia.
There are so many better pieces of media.
We got like a dozen sequels 😂
“good” being the main descriptor here.
The Force Awakens was good, mostly by way of just being A New Hope again.

The Last Jedi is top 3 out of the Skywalker movies easily.
In a few short years, you’ll see. The sequels will be redeemed just as the prequels before them. Time is a flat circle.
The prequels were redeemed? That’s news to me.
The most I’ve heard is “They aren’t as bad as the sequels”
Funny, because I still say the sequels aren’t as bad as the prequels.
I don’t agree. I believe I can summarize the difference this way:
The prequels are bad. The sequels are stupid.
the prequels are also stupid.
The prequels raped my childhood. The sequels killed it … and then raped its corpse.
The memes are better in the prequels

The prequels needed a better director. The sequels needed a writer.

The only reason I started to enjoy the prequels was because of r/prequelmemes
I think only the first episode has been “redeemed” in any way. Mostly because the pod race and darth maul.
The other two are still horrible.
How can you not enjoy the classic cinematics of III?!
They’ve been redeemed because they’ve opened such a rich world in the form of the TV shows and books. TCW and Rebels expanded on lore greatly.
lol, no… everyone knows time is (was?) a cube
