The prequels are terrible movies. And I even knew that back at the time even though most people seemed to love them at the time. But the terrible prequels never RUINED the Original Trilogy for me.
Funny enough though, the mantra for many fans has been that Lucas ruined their childhood because of the prequels.
That was because of the '97 Special Editions, not the prequels. You can ignore the prequels if you want, but you can’t ignore all the added CGI crap in the OT that you grew up watching when those are the only versions available.
Hence, this site.
it seems RJ forgot his movie is supposed to be part of a trilogy and saga. You don’t create a trilogy and saga by cutting all ties with the past, and having no open story threads for the future. There’s literally nothing to look forward to
My wife says that’s one thing she liked about this film, as a middle film, as opposed to ESB. In ESB the movie just kind of ended, with a very deliberate (and bothersome) cliffhanger.
By “bothersome” you mean “one of the greatest endings in movie history”, right? 😉
