    I also grew up with the prequels and yes, RotS was leagues ahead of them but it’s not just that. It has its issues, but I firmly believe it is a really good movie. I also grew up with prequels and saw both Episode 2 and 3 in theatres. But while the first two were quite cringey with some good parts, RotS was just good and stood up the test of time. More than I can say bout New Hope tbh.

      Oh you poor kids. You never knew the world where there weren’t the prequels. Or even the trilogy.

      There were many years - many! - when “prequel” wasn’t even a word! Let alone a real word.

      You’ll just have to trust us when we tell you there was a magical time when there was only one Star Wars and it was glorious.

          Can we stop with the boomer thing? You arent even using it appropriately.

          Dont get me wrong im fine with you coming back at the person for being so patronizing ( “you kids” ) but dudes unlikely to actually be a boomer.

          Star Wars

          episode 4 1977 Episode 5 1980 Episode 6 1983

          16 years later

          Episode 1 1999

          Thats genx/millenial territory

            “Ok, boomer” isn’t about pointing out actual boomers, but about criticizing boomer-think. You can age without letting yourself get old.

      I respect your opinion but I can’t say it’s not baffling to me lol. Do you find New Hope is too slow by today’s standards?
