    I doubt the sequels become more well thought of. It’s already been 5 years from ROS a decade from TFA and nothing has really changed in a positive direction.

      It took the prequels quite awhile, people STILL hated them when TFA came out… That was the whole point of trying to make it look and feel as much like the OT as possible.

        There are people that still hate the prequels, but they are the clear minority. Even on release the hate wasn’t as strong for the prequels as it has been for the sequels. Some of it may be the toxic behavior of Disney outside the movies themselves, but that’s a self inflicted wound.

          And there will be people who still hate the sequels when the next trilogy arrives. But they will also become a minority.

          Just like Star Wars itself, life repeats itself.

          Yeaaaah, I’m not gonna pretend Disney’s great, but I’m not going to pretend they “RUINED MARVEL AND STAR WARS FOREVER!”

          Especially since if Lucas didn’t sell we wouldn’t have had sequel movies, we’d have had Detours.

            Forever is unrealistic, but they do need to string together some well received movies and shows without attacking the fan base. As it is now I’d sacrifice the few good things to have no Disney star wars. The lack of new shows or movies didn’t make me like it less.
