I don’t think I ever had this rich headcanon about Anakin Skywalker everyone’s talking about in the first place, so I can’t really say the PT destroyed anything like that for me. I was nine years old when TPM came out, and Star Wars had only been on my radar for three years before that. At that age, I was way more interested in what Luke was doing after ROTJ than what his father was up to before the trilogy, so when the PT came around, it wasn’t really overwriting much of anything. I think they’re pretty lame, and it used to burn me that half of the films in the franchise were pretty lame, but now that they’re making more movies I’m not really angry about it. I think they’re bad movies, but they aren’t this unholy puzzle box that will ruin your life if you open it. Maybe I would’ve agreed with you guys before 2012 when it looked like Star Wars on the big screen was pretty much dead, but now I just see them as three weak installments in an ongoing series. Watch 'em or don’t, but it doesn’t have to be as huge a deal as you guys are making it.
