To me the prequel he promised in his original outline and in the OT is what I wanted.
Not the prequel as made.
But I’m not going to argue with kids who grew up on these as being valid as their Star Wars.
Yeah but everyone is two decades years older they need to mature and develop critical faculties by now. I just saw a video showcasing all the merch madness with Yoda drinking Pepsi or whatever, I mean yeah it’s funny in an excessive way, and it’s fun to look back, but that was long ago. Eventually you have a house clear-out and wonder what half this stuff was about, and it goes in a black bag. I watched ROTS today and it will be the last time, just to put a cap on the weekend, so whatever charm this held back then for me is gone, it’s mostly nonsensical noise.
