    Sure but do you not agree there is major gap in quality and substance?

    Some people like beer so much they would drink bud light.

      Oh I completely agree that there was, but not when you’re suggesting. It was between the Original Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy, the most critically hated series of Star Wars movies until… the Sequels. And 90% of the complaints I hear about the Sequels are emotionally based with nothing that people can physically point to. The other 10% have valid criticisms but most people don’t voice them. They just whine.

      At worst the Sequels fall between PT and OT in terms of quality. At the bare minimum, it was a step up from the confused mishmash of the Prequels.

        You’re saying this of the trilogy that was made by 2 directors actively trying to undo what the other did, interesting

        I’m not a star wars fan but I am familiar with the movies and the making of them all (film school nerd) so to see someone claim something like that is wild

        Honestly the comments of yours read like someone with very little media literacy who likes the ST. That’s fine, you can like what you like. It’s the “no actually people who dont like it are stupid nitpickers who didn’t even pay attention” that gets you laughed at like an idiot

          George Lucas couldn’t even agree on his own direction for the Prequels, so you can stuff this whole idea that he had some genius masterplan. None of the trilogies were done perfectly.

          I’m not a star wars fan but I am familiar with the movies and the making of them all (film school nerd) so to see someone claim something like that is wild

          Right. You’re not a Star Wars fan but you’re in the Star Wars meme community arguing the differences between a set of trilogies. But you’re not a fan.

          Moreover, you being at film doesn’t really mean much. Want proof of that? The countless directors who’ve never been and won awards, and the countless directors who have been and have failed miserably.

          Then there is your arrogance which is to inject that into a post. There’s no purpose except for you to say “I go to film school therefore my opinion is worth more than yours on this.”

          Honestly the comments of yours read like someone with very little media literacy who likes the ST.

          Claims you’re not “Not a Star Wars fan.”

          Acts exactly like a toxic Star Wars fan.

          Literally incapable of arguing the point at hand and has to resort to personal insults.

          For someone who is a film nerd and goes to film school, it’s kind of remarkable how you have no ability to focus on the film. Your entire comment was belittling another series and then belittling me. You never argued any point I made because you have no argument against it that isn’t based off of your own emotional reaction.

          Star Wars was made for children but you are really pushing the frontier on what can be called a child.

          If you want to cry and throw shit because you’re too immature to have a conversation, by all means. But you can do it while failing at film school that you supposedly go to. I am not entertaining your ego any longer.

          I personally dislike the whole idea that if you like the sequels you just have little or no media literacy.

          The movies were hot messes; but I wanted a movie in the star wars universe with star wars things and it had those, therefore I enjoyed watching them. Doesn’t make them masterpieces or anything.
