    Sure but do you not agree there is major gap in quality and substance?

    Oh I completely agree that there was, but not when you’re suggesting. It was between the Original Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy, the most critically hated series of Star Wars movies until… the Sequels. And 90% of the complaints I hear about the Sequels are emotionally based with nothing that people can physically point to. The other 10% have valid criticisms but most people don’t voice them. They just whine.

    At worst the Sequels fall between PT and OT in terms of quality. At the bare minimum, it was a step up from the confused mishmash of the Prequels.

      You’re saying this of the trilogy that was made by 2 directors actively trying to undo what the other did, interesting

      I’m not a star wars fan but I am familiar with the movies and the making of them all (film school nerd) so to see someone claim something like that is wild

      Honestly the comments of yours read like someone with very little media literacy who likes the ST. That’s fine, you can like what you like. It’s the “no actually people who dont like it are stupid nitpickers who didn’t even pay attention” that gets you laughed at like an idiot

        I personally dislike the whole idea that if you like the sequels you just have little or no media literacy.

        The movies were hot messes; but I wanted a movie in the star wars universe with star wars things and it had those, therefore I enjoyed watching them. Doesn’t make them masterpieces or anything.
