I had Star Wars before the ST was ever announced. It consisted of two great movies, one passable movie, and several comics and novels (most of which were published before the release of TPM).
Badly worded and conveyed on my part, I’ll admit that. Of course we have Star Wars, it will always be there. I meant that, with so many complaints of the Prequels not really being Star Wars, and then finally getting a film that has its roots close as it possibly can in the modern era, TFA arguably pulls that off. No, I am not making a claim whatsoever that TFA is some great film that can now reign king over the OT. I simply saying, for the people that wanted more Star Wars, were let down by the Prequels, well, TFA does a pretty decent job.
For the crowd that only believes Star Wars is STAR WARS 1977, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, hey, I can totally understand that. I’m not really talking to those people. However, I’m speaking to the people that are okay with stuff beyond those originals, which is why I brought up the Knights of the Old Republic video game. It has many elements and even rehashes some plot points of the originals, and yet, it’s one of the most highly praised games.
