Not a big fan of the Sequel Trilogy.

I prefer the Prequel Trilogy. The movies had their definite problems with wooden dialogue, stiff acting and pacing, but overall they were original, felt different from the OT and retained that Star Wars feel, something that TFA and TLJ are sorely lacking.

I voted sequels, but Rogue One and Solo are prequels, so I'm feeling perplexed

The sequels are enjoyable and despite some weak points, are all in all good Star Wars movies. The prequels are garbage and the only people that 'prefer' them are people trying to be edgy and apologists who want to pretend that they were good just to be mad at the sequels.

Are you going to sit here and pretend like the Last Jedi wasn't certifiable garbage?

The prequels were fucking trash, but they were loveable trash, and they still felt like Starwars movies.

I was on board for the sequels after TFA, even after realizing that I had essentially watched A New Hope again, and Rogue One was great, but TLA was an abortion of cinema that I can't even like ironically.

Why do you have to go so far over the top? It kills any credibility you might bring to the conversation.

I liked it.

They didn't to me. I also don't love anything about The Phantom Menace. What a hot load of shit. You know what isn't very 'Star Wars'? 2 hours of trade embargo and galactic CSPAN.

I just have to disagree. It looked great, it was fun, it had some nods to the original, and even though it had some rough edges, it was more of a space opera than anything the prequels ever did.

But thanks for illustrating the angry apologist character I pointed out earlier.

Jeez. On one hand, Ewan McGregor. On the other, Kylo and Hux bitching at each other.

Are you just always this much of a contrarian? Like 90% of Youtube was, "why I hate TLJ! and the prequels weren't so bad!" for like 3 months after it came out.

No I just think the prequels are good and not for the dumb reasons you just said. I don't even hate the sequels.

Then you aren't really the people I described, as I'm just talking about the people who hated the sequels but liked the prequels.

This is quite hard for me. They both have really bad movies (IMO the worst two in AotC and TLJ). But I liked Force Awakens more than most people (at least on the internet) and RotS was the best prequel. And then you have PM which wasn't completely great but had its moments. It's really early to do this considering the Sequel Trilogy isn't even done yet (and could swing it the other way depending how IX is), but Prequels have it as it stands right now for me.

Sequels. Say what you will about their decisions regarding the overall story, they're just legitimately better movies. Better acting, cinematography, dialogue, effects, music I'll give to the prequels though.

Considering I actually haven't been able to finish watching Attack of the Clones after several attempts, it's definitely the sequels. The Force Awakens is good or whatever but I really love The Last Jedi.

Other than the last half of RotS, the sequel trilogy is fucking horrible. I dread having to rewatch them when we marathon the series next year. I did like TPM as a kid though.

Sequel trilogy is great so far. OT fanboys bitch way too much about them, but then again, what don't they bitch about?

The prequels have their good and bad moments, but theyre definitely enjoyable enough.

I dont like what they did with the sequels, and havent watched them. They went from great villains like Vader and Dooku, and made a guy that looks like a douchey emo kid.

I actually liked Rogue One, and was optimistic about Solo - but those people just had to ruin things like they always do...

Once I heard the writers decided to ret-con Lando into a pansexual - whatever fake garbage that is, I am completely done with any future installment Disney makes.

The prequel trilogy is bad. The sequels win by default because none of them are as bad as the first two prequel movies.

Sequels.

The kneejerk reaction to TLJ is getting ridiculous

tbh, I like TFA and TLJ more than I do ANH and RotJ, so I'd put the ST even over the OT.

the only thing that would change that is if I absolutely hate ep IX.

and I hope they keep making the prequel movies like RO and Solo, since they've been pretty dope, IMO.

Sequels. As disappointed as I was with TLJ, it is still technically well made and entertaining at times. I cant say the same for Phantom or Attack.

@hyperpsycho
You havent made a single comment on the post you created, until now.

And out of everything that people have said, that is your takeaway..?

The hate for the prequels has always been overblown. AotC is a snoozefest but at least it didn't take a massive dump on the lore and characters like TLJ did. And outside of Jar Jar I actually really enjoy TPM so ya. Prequels are way better
