Yes, I am making a linguistic drift.
Admittedly I was premature in going at you. I didn’t know “practice” was one of those words that is spelled differently depending on where you live. My apologies on that one but can we stay on the main point?

In any case, I used the wrong word. In proper English “practise” is a verb and “practice” is a noun. That is why I said I am making a linguistic drift

I am not the one who swayed away from it in the first place.

That is true but you ignored the main point to focus on a side topic.

Since you have gone down this road, one does not “make a linguistic drift” in proper English any more than one says a movie is “a crap” in proper English.
Man… we should try to talk to each other instead of talking about each other…

Don’t worry they can’t spell colour and put Zs where Ss should be…

This is not talking to each other.

I don’t think I ever had this rich headcanon about Anakin Skywalker everyone’s talking about in the first place, so I can’t really say the PT destroyed anything like that for me. I was nine years old when TPM came out, and Star Wars had only been on my radar for three years before that. At that age, I was way more interested in what Luke was doing after ROTJ than what his father was up to before the trilogy, so when the PT came around, it wasn’t really overwriting much of anything. I think they’re pretty lame, and it used to burn me that half of the films in the franchise were pretty lame, but now that they’re making more movies I’m not really angry about it. I think they’re bad movies, but they aren’t this unholy puzzle box that will ruin your life if you open it. Maybe I would’ve agreed with you guys before 2012 when it looked like Star Wars on the big screen was pretty much dead, but now I just see them as three weak installments in an ongoing series. Watch 'em or don’t, but it doesn’t have to be as huge a deal as you guys are making it.

Lol.
I remember him shitting on JJ but I don’t remember him saying anything about Disney as a whole. I still find unlikely he hasn’t said something along the lines of “Disney is ruining Star Wars” or that “Disney only wants money and doesn’t care about making good movies.”
I was laughing more at the fact that apparently the Disney bit is the only part that wasn’t accurate.
At any rate “Disney” was just shorthand for TFA and/or RO.
I’m sure everyone here has made good points as why you shouldn’t watch them - but if you go in expecting a decent Sci-Fi action flick, you might actually enjoy them. Don’t go in expecting to feel the same magic you felt when watching ANH for the first time. Expect to be slightly thrilled, mostly underwhelmed, and be prepared to scratch your head in confusion… a lot. They’re not great films, but there is far worse out there.
If anything, watch the films in 5.1, and disable the center channel. That way you hear the most important part of the prequels - their exceptional soundtracks.
The only Star Wars “film” I would advise that you NEVER watch is the dreaded Clone Wars animated feature. That was absolute garbage, whereas the prequels are nicely packaged garbage.

…so why bother if the best case scenario is “slightly thrilled, mostly underwhelmed”?

Or I could just listen to the soundtracks.

But then you’d miss out on the second most important part of the prequels - their amazing visuals.

I meant that under the assumption that you’re going in expecting the prequels to be just as riveting as the original trilogy. My mistake, I should’ve clarified.
While they don’t excite me terribly as much as the original trilogy (certain parts do underwhelm me - namely the entirety of AOTC), I think they’re still fun films, and I enjoy going along with the story arc. It would feel weird marathoning Star Wars without watching the prequels, in my opinion.

I can’t imagine anyone here would go in expecting that. We aren’t a bunch of savages…
Besides it’s not only a trilogy about Anakin, but also about Palpatine, a fun character who’s evil just because he wants to be evil. And about Obi-Wan, the SW Sherlock Holmes with a reckless behavior loaded with punchlines.
I enjoy Palpatine for a good portion of the trilogy but he’s ruined in the back half of ROTS by every scene in which he uses a lightsaber and/or jumps around, and the entire sequence where Mace debates killing him (No, don’t kill me, I’m weak, ahhh, ehhh, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, etc.).
Besides it’s not only a trilogy about Anakin, but also about Palpatine, a fun character who’s evil just because he wants to be evil. And about Obi-Wan, the SW Sherlock Holmes with a reckless behavior loaded with punchlines.
Anakin is obviously a JESUS rehash for kids (Harry Potter/Hunger Games generation), and a lame rehash, which does not work. Like the plot is a Bible rehash, and a lame rehash.
Obi-Wan is obviously a SHERLOCK HOLMES rehash for kids (Harry Potter/Hunger Games generation), and a lame rehash, which does not work. Like the plot is a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rehash, and a lame rehash.
PALPATINE reminds me of the villain in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2: RISE OF ELECTRO. Reflected Force-lightning is the cause for Palaptines bad teeth? (Seriously guys…). So PALPATINE is obviously an ELECTRO rehash for kids (Harry Potter/Hunger Games generation), and a lame rehash, which does not work. Like the plot is a Spider-Man rehash, and a lame rehash.

Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.
