I’m sure this is a common story for people my age (early 20s), I used to be a super fan of the prequels, but that was more out of contrarianism and because I hadn’t really sat down and watched them since I was a kid. I would watch the random scene from them once in a while, but the whole movie at once, never. Revisiting them as an older teenager changed my opinion, and that was a hell of a slap in the face.

If you really dug around in my comments history, I bet you could find 2016 SparkySywer obnoxiously defending the prequels or something like that on here.
