You were pretty spot on!

With the prequels, it seems people have gone from a black and white perspective to a more grey perspective as the years have gone by.

I feel a lot people will get to that point with the sequels as well, but they haven’t got there yet and they don’t think they ever will, even though they probably thought the same thing in regards to the prequels just a few years ago. I’m not saying people will see it as the best thing on God’s green earth, but they will see the good with the bad, just like the prequels.

I’m sure I’ll have people tell me, “That’ll never happen with me!” Maybe it won’t, but I just get the strong feeling of history repeating itself. I think it will take time for people to see the grey in situations, but for now people would sing along with “Bob Iger Raped my Childhood” and fail to see the irony.

Again, I’m not trying to downplay people’s criticisms (a lot of the prequel criticisms were fair too), if I didn’t think the sequels had flaws I wouldn’t be as interested in fan-editing. But I think there is some good in them too, just like the prequels, but maybe their sequel-hurt is too fresh in people’s minds to see any of that, or they’ve yet to hear a compelling alternative perspective.
