You may think the prequels are irredeemably bad and get angry whenever someone mentions them

They are, but I don’t.

Okay, it’s fine if that’s what you think. But other people think differently. I don’t think movies should be made to cater to any specific group.

My point is to tell a compelling new story you need to start with what works (the OT) and be as vague about everything else as possible (which they were to some extent). Everything else is entirely debatable since PT fans will hate anything that doesn’t continue the Anakin as Space Jesus plot which was supposedly a central idea. If I got angry about any of this I might have the energy to go way off topic, but again I don’t

I understand that, and I agree that the prequel fans clamoring for ghost Hayden to magically save the day were being unreasonable. But I don’t see how any of this means that the prequels shouldn’t be mentioned at all. I actually feel like the way TLJ went about it was probably the best way to do it. Mention the prequels when you can expand on them in interesting ways, but don’t reveal that Snoke is Jar-Jar Binks or some dumb shit like that.
