Every time I try to discuss my disappointment with Disney Star Wars I’m met with the argument that I’m just the sequel version of the prequel haters… Except I literally never met or heard of a single OTs fan that hated them. The closest I ever heard was criticism of the clunky dialogue between Anakin and Padme. I’m sure it happened but I never even heard anyone gripe Midicloreans… until after episode 7 came out.
Agreed there are plenty of valid criticisms of the prequels. But nobody chalks those up to blind hate/sexism/etc.
I think the criticisms of Disney Star Wars are just as valid if not more valid (Breaking canon and lack of direction or creativity).
