@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.
