I think that’s a false equivelance, since the PT is clearly building off the themes and character arcs of the OT, whereas TFA is a giant regression.
Man, most Star Wars fans would’ve really disagreed with you that it built off the themes of the OT back before we ever knew we were getting more movies. I agree with you that it did, but it has taken a lot of time for more people to come around to that. But the situation with the ST is different? I don’t really think so.
