Say what you want about the prequels, they were at least interesting failures as opposed to passable filler.
I would rather have a film that’s watchable than to watch a bad film that’s only somewhat enjoyable when talking about how it could have been better in retrospect. But hey…
we had three years to recover from the TRAUMA.
So sick of seeing people talk about the PT as if it was actually something that scarred them. Or maybe it’s just evidence of individuals who’ve done nothing with their lives and have no barometer of reality.
They were terrible films and that was very disappointing, but if the disappointment over some stupid movies caused you trauma, you gots problems.
Now Disney wants to make a film a year, based on a franchise (everybody admits) that was running out of steam by the the third installment.
I dunno who this movie reviewer whose opinion you cling so blindly to is, but this person is wrong. Many people consider ROTJ the weakest of the OT, but few thought the franchise was near “out of steam” after it’s release. When the PT was officially announced, you could hardly find anybody with even a slight concern that it might not turn out great.
Finally, at least Lucas ruined franchises he created… That why I think Lucas selling the franchise to Disney might be one of the worst thing he has ever done, behind the SE of course.
The creator ruining their own art doesn’t make the destruction any better than if if was done by a random vandal.
