He’s right (but ROTS is a far stronger movie).
I’v come to enjoy Hal9000’s ROTS more than Force Awakens. But if I’m comparing the theatrical releases, well then I’d have to go with Force Awakens.
To be honest, I dont have the hate for the prequels that many do. I’m just indifferent to it and have written it off as non-existent. TFA is approaching that same status as time wears on. I dont hate it but it is utterly uncompelling and i’ve learned to ignore it.
