    The prequels had a good story told incredibly poorly

    This is redeemable, fun to read about extra info on wookiepedia, and fun to rewatch in whole context of that good story.

    while the sequels have a bad story but at least it is told well (or at least better)

    This is not redeemable, adds nonsense and contradictions to wookiepedia, and why bother rewatching a bad story at all? But hey, at least the acting is good and special effects are pretty!..?

      Another thing is the prequels made the world of star wars feel big enough to fill a galaxy. The sequels made the world of star wars feel small (at the end of the day they introduced like 4ish new characters that matter and like 2 new worlds).

      And to defend my point, characters:

      • Rey
      • Kylo
      • Finn
      • Poe

      It’s hard to count Snoke, the Knights only show for a hot second, Storm trooper lady maybe, Admiral Holdo maybe, oh and Hux doesn’t deserve mention.

      Planets:

      • The planet with Maz
      • Salt planet (Hoth 2.0)
      • Exogol
      • Casino Planet

      I did look it up and there are a few more. Forgot Jakku isn’t just a part of tatooine. There is another desert planet apparently, there are also a couple planets the rebels set up at that are only pop up for a few minutes. Luke’s island is on a planet, but not sure that really counts. Starkiller base is listed as a planet, but that’s pretty much deaths tar 2.0.
