  • I’m defs one of those kids. I think the prequels hate is being blown out of proportion to discredit the sequels hate. My dad loved OGs and the prequels. I grew up playing all the snes star wars games. Darth Vader gave me nightmares watching the OGs in preparation for TPM. We saw Episodes 1 & 2 in theatre together. At school Phantom Menace was THE most culturally relevant thing to us kids I can remember before 9/11.

    So people lose me with the “Sequels are the young generation’s Star Wars” argument. Cuz my generation didn’t reject the OG’s at all. Everyone I knew as a kid was collecting star wars cards/lego from both TPM and OGs.

    IMO Star Wars fans we’re well within their rights to have higher expectations of the sequels than the prequels… for the simple fact that the sequels are the end of the saga. People can push through a slow start but a story with a bad ending is never cherished.
