Honestly I started this thread for a joke but now it has so many replies and I've got to learn more about everybody in this great community I'm honestly blown away with the amount of veteran that have come back to comment on this.
See u all on the battlefront -Josh 😁😁
On the subject of PT vs ST, fans got toxic during the PT but for different reasons. PT was facing the high expectations of the OT. Still, most fans agreed there was a good story with a lot of cool stuff, but the execution could have been better. George Lucas was in control, so there was at least a consistent overall vision. Also, Revenge of the Sith is generally regarded as a very good end to the trilogy and a good Star Wars movie overall. So the PT ended on a high note, and yes Clone Wars TV show absolutely enhanced fan's view of the PT.
With ST, Disney decided not to take Lucas' advice on where he envisioned Ep 7-9 would go, opting instead for what amounts as a soft reboot. While TFA is generally regarded as entertaining, JJ left lol. It's clear there was no real plan for the entire trilogy for someone to pick up and follow. So Rian Johnson does his take, the original Ep 9 director quits over disagreements in story, and JJ is brought back and basically tries to undo Ep 8 while stuffing 2 movies into 1. Meanwhile, nothing is really moved forward. Unlike the PT which had a lot of cool lore elements like the Clone Wars, Jedi Order, Galactic Republic, etc., there is nothing for fans to latch onto with the ST. With Rise of Skywalker, the trilogy doesn't end on the high note of Revenge of the Sith.
There's talk of Lucas, Filoni, and Favreau putting together a series for Disney+ that will continue after Rise of Skywalker and hopefully serve to give a shot in the arm to the ST like Clone Wars did PT. It will follow Rey as she rebuilds the Jedi Order as well as Finn and Poe. That's a rumor I'm hearing anyway.
Revenge of the Sith is awful. Lol you want me to list all the plotholes with it? Plus the PT was extremely hated at the time it came out, you can't count Clone Wars tv show as thats not fair because Sequels doesn't have a fully completed show yet(Mandalorian is still season 1 )
Sequels will be loved once the next triology comes as that happens with all the star wars trilogies. OT fans hated PT, now PT fans hate on Sequels. Then Sequel fans will hate on the next group of new star wars movies. None of the star wars movie were all that amazing or well received except Empire Strikes Back.
