      That’s what people used to say about 1-3.

        Have people actually re-evaluated the prequels now? I genuinely thought everyone was just being sarcastic.

          Weirdly enough, for me the Clone Wars shows helped to retroactively make the Prequels better.

        At least 1-3 make sense. Anything after the grand finally doesn’t make sense.

          The original trilogy has an overarching story. So does the prequel trilogy. I’m still struggling to figure out a big story for 7-9 what doesn’t have too many holes, and I’m not going to watch it all ten times to figure it out.

            That’s true. I think the sequels did a lot right. A woman as a main character was long overdue. The visuals are great, acting is good for the most part.

            But there’s no overall story that makes any sense and it contradicts the previous movies pretty much everywhere. 7 wasn’t very believable, but made at least some sense if seen on its own. 8 didn’t seem to have much story impact at all, people seem to just solve short term problems constantly. And 9 could well be a parody. A parody with a very big budget.

            I liked the spin off movies (Solo, Rogue One) a lot, though.

              It just kind of felt like they read a few of the EU novels and ripped off a few of their favorite parts without any of the buildup that made them significant.
