This is exactly why I roll my eyes at the people who are rabidly angry at the sequel trilogy. We’ve seen all this happen before, and it turns out no matter how bad we think it is, there’s still a group that gets something special out of it. It wasn’t cool for me to take the prequels so seriously and hate on them while a whole new generation of Star Wars fans were just getting into it. At the time, the kids loved Jar-Jar!
I’m not fond of the sequel trilogy. But I honestly think episode 8 was the best of the lot. And if there’s people who like what these movies are, then that’s a good thing for them
I’d rather kids watch smart movies like The Iron Giant but it’s hard to argue Star Wars has a lot of cool stuff kids will enjoy immensely.
Yeah the prequels have horrible dialogue, bad direction (making a mostly fantastic cast look bad) and many questionable choices. I couldn’t rewatch most of it myself but hating them is a bit strong especially if somebody else is getting harmless enjoyment of it.
