Okay so now you actually are saying that. Jesus
Both are absolutely pointless to the OT, much like TESB is pointless to SW.
Okay, I was going to say, what’s to say ESB isn’t pointless.
The difference between the PT and the ST is that there was a story to tell in the PT, and there’s no story left to be told after RotJ. If they don’t really expand every aspect of the universe and make it interesting that is, like TESB, which they did to an extent, even if rehashing the OT to a large degree.
So the ST is more pointless than the PT but of course better.
I still don’t follow (and I strongly disagree that there’s no story to tell after ROTJ, which is an absurd statement). How is the PT adding anything by telling a story we already know?
