May the 4th be with you, friends.

What a disappointing series that was.

The cycle goes: Star Wars is for kids and when they grow up they're going to hate the Star Wars their kids are watching. I'm old enough to have seen the entire cycle with the prequels.
And btw, The best trilogy is Rogue One, Empire Strikes Back, and The Last Jedi.
- Who ever hated the original films?
- The difference between the prequels and the sequels is that while a bit cheesy and having some cringe/dogshit dialogue in places the prequels have a solid storyline an arc.
  The sequels are just shit with only the Last Jedi trying to do anything, then when they made episode 9 they tried to backpedal and made a completely unwatchable piece of shit that makes no sense
- I watched the OT as a kid... and then watched the Prequels as a few years older kid...
  And I thought the prequels were inferior to the OT, and even to many OT/EU based video games that were released before or in the same timeframe as the prequels.
  And then the Sequel trilogy was an utter trainwreck, along with pretty much most of the Disney+ shows.
  Rogue One was decent?
  Mando S1 and S2 were good (very obviously a serial spaghetti western type show, but executed well untill S3) Andor is great, everything else bad or so uninteresting I haven't even bothered.
- This, I'm willing to bet that the sequels will be just as beloved as the prequels suddenly were.
- I watched all 9 again recently with my kid. I am barely old enough to be in the "hate the prequels" gang. All 3 trilogies are good and bad. But after watching again 7, 8, 9 get way too much hate. They aren't great either. The funny part is, most people hate them for the wrong reasons. Palpatine returning makes sense if you pay attention while watching 3.
  There probably is a whole generation that will despise andor and rogue one.
I liked the original Star Wars when I was like 10. I was older when the 2nd one came out and that was ok-ish. I was in my teens when the teddy bear Star Wars movie came out and I thought that was the dumbest fucking shit ever.
Still beat GoT marginally :)

Also bringing you hits like: "Somehow, Palpatine returned..." and "Yousa thinking yousa people ganna die?"

The entire "love story" between Anakin and Padme is barf worthy
- Star Wars has never been "good". It's just always been entertaining. Luke is absolutely insufferable the the OT movies. He whines non-stop in ANH and Empire, and then he comes back in ROTJ as some snobby holier-than-thou prick. We just love Star Wars because it meant something to use when we were kids.
"Somehow, Palpatine returned..." is a line that makes sense in context.. He doesn't know how Sidious came back.
Though keeping the contents of the message locked to a temporary Fortnite event was stupid.
Force healing and Disney kiss of resurrection
"They fly now?"
- They fucking always have. I hated this specific line so much, completely separate from other reasons to dislike 9.

The Last Jedi was super cool though. It was truly the last Jedi i ever saw, well the last Star Wars content basically.

It was half of a good movie, which is more than can be said of the other two sequels.
- Altogether the three equals less than one whole good film. They get close with the first two but the third is inexcusable. I counted: there are less than 5 shots that last for more than 15 seconds before a hard cut, even if it's still in the same scene (I counted but also barely cared; I was just trying stay awake)
It was alright. A nice onramp back into the series, but mostly just a nostalgic beat for beat recreation of A New Hope for the 2010s. I remember the hype was real, but without a solid plan for the sequel trilogy neither movie in it is really worth ever revisiting. But there's still some good Star Wars content. Rogue One and The Mandalorian are well worth watching. I haven't seen Andor or Skeleton Crew, but people seem to like them.
- I think you've mistaken the last jedi for the force awakens

You get all the adults now who like the prequels even though they’re terrible because it’s what they grew up with, so of course that means now we’re getting a generation for whom the Rey trilogy is their Star Wars.

The prequels had the core of a good story, alongside some very bad direction and post-production decisions.
The Fall of the Republic as this merchantile skirmish that grows out of control, the Jedi as a schloratic band of liberals who have had their orthodoxy exploited, and the Republic itself as an engine of immiseration that ultimately needed to fail in order to pave the way for something better are all themes it is easy to sympathize with in the modern moment.
Yeah, the CGI was clumsy, the dialogue was stiff, and the comedy asides were cringe. But the lore was strong. It gave birth to a second renaissance in the Extended Universe.
The Sequels simply did not have any of that storytelling and world building. What wasn't blatantly ripped off from the OS was sloppily presented, resolved, retconned, and then ignored. The Sequels pillaged the EU for material that was wasted almost as quickly as it was revealed. And this, when Timothy Zahn had already written some of the best sequel material 30 years earlier.
The Sequels won't be anyone's Star Wars, because it was slop. Rogue One, The Mandelorian, The Clone Wars TV Show, the Star Wars anime spin-offs - these are what will endure.
- The EU material was beautiful steak, and then they let RJ and JJ slop em up. I mean it was fun watching Luke die himself to death at Maskopher, but at the same time you know what he could have done? Something like how how in rotj yoda dies by too many questions? and then yoda sits there as a force ghost and says "ha! see how now it feels you do hoo hoo hoo hoo" and then scampers off into the force aether like a gremlin. that's what they should have done.
  i mean i guess it's easy to backseat editing room now, but pretty much anything feels better.

You saying, Ep. 3 is bad?
