They might have actually been good. There is zero replay value in "The Force Awakens:Racially Diverse" or "Rogue One:The Feminist Adventure".

When Disney wants something they get what they want. They control a lot of things in the entertainment industry along with all the merchandise they have rights to. They're a massive monopoly. I wish Pixar was not affiliated with Disney like they are nowadays. Competition creates better products.

Original 3 movies = team effort. Lucas was at his prime back then, a totally different person before the millions of dollars changed the man he was.

Prequels = nobody questioning him or giving their input. George Lucas was slightly delusional about how "good" he actually was. George Lucas' storytelling techniques faded over time alongside his problems in his personal life. In the making of the prequels someone could've told him, "practical effects" made the original Star Wars trilogy amazing, MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY TO DO SOME OF THAT. But no, instead the prequels should be "progressive" with the use of CGI techniques that had not been masterfully woven into timeless art. It was still in the infancy of the digital age where computers were not as powerful at rendering 3D images as they are nowadays. The Yoda "puppet-play" in the original trilogy was one of the best things ever done in movie history. Star Wars back then didn't do everything everyone else was doing, they broke the mold.

Here's some of the old school magic that influenced "The New Hope".
