@C-townladiesman Sure, but there was an equal chance you wouldn't be right? And guessing the ending of a movie before it happens doesn't make it bad.
From the 1970s to the early 2000s...? That includes the prequel era, movies that faced heavy fan backlash, including the harassment of cast members like the ST, accusations of breaking the lore/retroactively making the OT worse. It was, by no means, a reputable time for the franchise - it was similar to what happened to the sequel trilogy, maybe worse. I think its great you enjoy the movies (I do too, that's something about me - I love all of Star Wars in its own way) but it wasn't a good time for the reputation of the series. In my personal experience, it's only been after the release of The Clone Wars TV show that the prequels have started to be appreciated by the majority and viewed nostalgically. Nostalgia can definitely smooth over some of the rough edges and the various problems in a way that the ST, being new, can't manage yet.
One thing is eternal (except for the Sith, ofc), Star Wars fans suck :P
I say that as a Star Wars fan.
This feels self-deprecating.
