Nah I’m of the opinion that if the OT somehow came out today, to THIS fanbase, it would’ve been ripped to shreds (especially RotJ, with the sibling retcon and whatnot).

On this site, maybe, but the majority of Star Wars fans are much less critical than this community. Also, this is a difficult hypothetical scenario to work through, since Star Wars content has always been in the shadow of the OT and been compared to it, and there was no internet then, and the fandom wasn’t as large or established yet. Any scenario where the OT came out today would vary based on whether Star Wars already existed, meaning there was basis for comparison and an established fandom.
