prequels fans are mainly people who grew up with those movies as "their" star wars and are absolutely seething at the fact that they are generally recognized to be bad

If you dislike TLJ and the Prequels I feel like that's a fair opinion. If you dislike TLJ and love the Prequels you just like bad movies.

well

TFA is basically a worse version of ANH
TLJ is basically a (much) worse version of TESB
TROS is basically a worse version of ROTJ

so... yeah

I feel like if one movie is so bad that it makes you justify a film (or series of films) you previously hated, I'm confused why you dont just watch an entirely different movie. Why does it have to be Star Wars? I didn't like the Last Jedi and I didnt like Rise of Skywalker. My immediate reaction is not to watch a different movie I also didn't like and try to justify either to myself or my surroundings why I made that choice.

If Star Wars fans just hate everything that is new disney content why do they love Mandalorian and Rogue One?
Enjoyable shows that have the Star Wars spirit are beloved. Weak showings like TLJ, TFA, Solo and now apparently ROS....are going to get slammed for being weak.

In what way?

Cinematography and acting are better overall in TLJ. Dialogue isn't AS cringe. Music is about the same.

I mean, I'd say that RotS IS better than The Last Jedi, but not Episodes 1 and 2.

I think it's mostly because The Mandalorian and Rogue One don't have the baggage of the other Star Wars movies attached to them. Okay, Rogue One has a few previous Star Wars characters in them, but none of them are in the movie for long enough for fans to complain about them being "ruined".

It's basically the Zelda Cycle; the difference being that it only quantifies trilogies instead of single entries, and therefore takes waaaay longer to see the effects.

*shrug*

I rewatched the prequels recently. They're worse than the originals, but I still found entertainment in TPM and ROTS even though they have horrible dialogue and they have too much shit going on the screen.

Similarly, I think TFA is entertaining if not forgettable.

AotC and TLJ are just fucking boring though. I could give ROS being completely fucking stupid a pass if it at least keeps me entertained, but I've heard it's got a lot of exposition dump so I bet it will be pretty boring too.

The Last Jedi is meh. It had some cool moments here and there, and stuff like cinematography looked really good. However, there were aspects about it that I felt could have been executed better and parts that I flat out didn't like.
But holy Christ, I'm not a cry baby bitch about it like a lot of people seem to be. Acting like it's one of the worst films in the history of cinema when it's fucking not.

I enjoyed it. It was slow and kind of boring and underwritten in the character/dialog department but I loved how it looked, the vibe was on point, and the ending scene (you know the one) was the best scene I've watched in theaters for modern star wars.

Speak for yourself. Rogue One is my second favorite in the franchise.

Imo Rogue One is the least good of all 10 movies. It feels like a tech exercise

Prequelmemes subreddit exists, and I think that has helped soften some opinion, at least on reddit. Not sure how many of the people there have actually rewatched the movies... I originally liked them but thats because I was a kid when they came out

It was ok. It was factually better than all the new trilogy

I liked Rogue One simply because it was more of a "war" movie.

Not gonna lie, the Jedi are the most boring and kiddy part of Star Wars for me.

Edit: That being said, Rogue One also has a lot of boring bits in the beginning that I don't like but the ending and the overall tone and style make up for it in my eyes. (except, Ironically, the Darth Vader scene which I felt was just over indulgent and out of place)

TLJ has no idea which direction it's going. It's pacing and writing are attrocious. It's attempt at an addition of new elements was unfounded and also attrocious. The way it shit on building characters from the previous movies was borderline offensive.

Yeah, the prequels were bad, but nothing will top that^. Except maybe TRoS, but I haven't seen it yet.

Same here. The first time a Star Wars movie ever nailed that aspect imo.

yeah, the whole Jedi/Sith aspect is stupid and way overdone

in fact, all of my favorite Star Wars movies/games/etc don't focus on them at all
