There has been this recent softening of attitude towards the Prequels. Time heals all wounds for some. For me, I was never really burned by them. Lucas never “raped my childhood” as so many fans claimed happened to them.

The Prequels will always stand as a non-factor to me; neither enhancing nor detracting from the originals. In my book they’re another franchise altogether. With time it seems fans are trying to reconcile with the Prequels. I’ve learned to filter them out so I’ve never felt the need to reconcile.

For that matter I’ve pushed TFA out of my inner circle of SW films. Had TFA come out in 1979 or 80, we’d see it for what it was. An unrelated wannabe series made by a different studio by different creators. Like a cheap knock off minus the cheap part.

With that said, its still a good thing to be a SW fan alive in this time. There will be let downs. Looking forward to Rogue One and whatever else is around the corner. Even if anticipation is all there is.
