I know for a fact that there is a small but loud contingent of PT fans who are trying to get their “revenge” by bashing the new Disney films (in particular TFA… Rogue One has been tougher for them since it’s awesome and Lucas himself liked it)

I think a big reason they are mad is that for most people TFA was proof that it wasn’t nostalgia… the prequels really were mostly bad.

Heck, I like TFA (and am excited for Last Jedi), and think it’s enjoyable… but I don’t think it’s as good as the OT (or Rogue One)… .but it’s certainly a much better made movie than the PT films. At least the dialogue isn’t embarrassing to listen to when there are other people in the room.
