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.
@Based_Accelerationist I do disagree that they "made Star Wars better." That's not something I'm interested in even discussing, but you have to know that's a controversial statement. I was there for the prequels as an adult, Gandalf, and they were the ones who brought in the modern-day shitty "fans" and were generally panned by at least half of the original fangroup.
@RoninGrey I wasn't there to see it, but when I say they "made Star Wars better", I'm talking specifically about the story/lore/characters.
I wouldn't care about Star Wars if it wasn't for the prequels. Simple good vs evil stories never interested me and that's all Star Wars would be without them.
The Jedi living on a literal ivory tower, worrying about losing power both over the Force and the universe, while the people vote their way into a dictatorship, is far more interesting if you ask me.
