Lots of people complaining about The Acolyte and Star Wars canon who loved the prequels, and didn't care about how the prequels did so much that didn't make sense or outright retconned cool things into stupid, worse things.

I'm an OT-only guy, myself. Non-specialized edition.

@RoninGrey The prequels made Star Wars better and were created with love, unlike anything Disney made. There were always bad decisions, it didn't start with the prequels. Take episode VI for instance. It's full of laziness and bad choices. From Luke's nonsensical plan to save Han that is nothing more than an excuse for the writers to utilize multiple sets, another freaking Death Star, to the whole Ewok battle, very few moments in that movie were anything more than fluff.

@RoninGrey Then you have Force Ghosts. The concept was fine in episode IV, a Jedi could slightly prolong their conscience just long enough to offer some guidance to the next generation. But by episode VI, it's clear Jedi are immortal, which not only cheapens death itself but goes against their entire philosophy of accepting death, becoming one with the Force and letting go. Talk about bad writing.

Rejecting the prequels while being a fan of episode 6 is honestly laughable.

@Based_Accelerationist I'm really happy that people like you and TFM like the prequels. They're definitely "Star Wars" but just not my cup of tea. I finished Epiaode VI feeling great. I walked out after the end of Episode III saying "THAT'S our Darth Vader? What a whiny bitch."

But anyway, I'm just saying, as we both pointed out concerning Episode V, that if The Acolyte is their first time seeing "canon" not working, they're retarded.

@RoninGrey I don't think TFM likes the prequels, he often repeats bad arguments he heard from Red Letter Media, the same hacks who praised TFA. Professional reviewers my ass.

Yup, Vader was a pathetic slave in the OT who would almost murder his own son just because his master told him to. What kind of person do you think becomes someone like Vader in real life? That's right, probably someone you'd call a whiny bitch. Prequels' Anakin was perfect (except for the actor's age in the first movie).

@Based_Accelerationist If you put on a prequel while I was visiting I'd watch It with you. As long as you don't quote all of the meme lines along with the movie.
