    These memes always rub me the wrong way. First, they’re making fun of hateful Star Wars fans, which is great. But they’re also ignoring just how bad the sequels were. Make no mistake, they were BAD.

      This, heaven forbid a fan who legitimately wanted to like the movies just didn’t like them. No problem with the time skip, the actors, love interests, etc. the plot just sucked, the story was haphazardly thrown together. Disney wanted to cash in on nostalgia and pumped out 3 movies with no prior planning or guiding direction between the films. But if anyone complains they’re being hypercritical, or racist, or sexist, or doesn’t appreciate the spirit of the movies. Fuck that, at least Filoni is slowly fixing it. Stomach literally sank when I learned he wasn’t in charge of the acolyte in some form.

      But, and I don’t understand why people act like this isn’t true, but the other SW movies are also BAD.

      Like they were good perhaps when they were released, which was way before my time, but the story and dialogues was just as bad then as it is today. It must have been the novelty, but they were never ‘good’ movies. Space soap opera at best, prequels taking themselves too seriously, but nothing more.
