BB-8 puppeteer Brian Herring says the Star Wars sequels are “no more polarizing than the prequels were” and “in 10 years’ time” they’ll be loved like the prequels, too

The prequels were loved by people who watched them as kids. The clone wars show helped too, as if a show made years later written by different people “fixes” the various plot holes and issues in the prequels

The Clone Wars TV is doing all the heavy lifting there. They fill in a lot of the plot holes and got people invested in the plotline. People like the prequels because they are connected to the clone wars.

Somehow, this argument returned.

Even the Snyder movies have adamant defenders. Sure, why not these too.

The prequels actually had a cohesive story throughout them. The dialogue may have been terrible, there may have been plot holes, but it wouldn’t have worked without all 3 movies.
You can completely drop episode 8 and nothing changes lol, not to mention there was no cohesion between any of them.

The prequels have their issues, but the sequels don’t even have a coherent storyline. You can see the script flip flopping between films

Here’s the thing: People have been crying about “Star Wars sucks now” since Return of the Jedi. It’s nothing new. However, I think there’s a big difference between “this is not as good as what I grew up with” and “this is a complete mess”. There’s no saving the sequels because you had two different directors who absolutely hated what the other was doing. People aren’t going to come around to the sequels.

I think in 10 years people might appreciate Last Jedi more, but I don’t see that with Rise of Skywalker.

Huge disagree, and the big difference here is that while the prequels might not be good films, they’re at least made with an incredible amount of care, planning, and heart, by the man who created the franchise.
The sequels are not only bad films, they’re poorly planned corporate bullshit made as quickly as possible for the sake of recouping Disney’s money as fast as they could.
They are NOT the same thing. The prequels are bad in an endearing way, the sequels are bad in a way that highlights everything wrong with the modern studio movie making process.

Force Awakens came out 11 years ago. Times ticking.

I doubt it. The prequels are bad, but theyre a singular vision by a crazy genius of the genre. The sequels are a corporate cash grab with no planning thay arguably killed the franchise.

Just need to let the nostalgia clingers room to appreciate that they liked being whatever the age they were during these releases than they do 10 years later.

Maybe he’s right, if they release more awful movies.

I doubt this but we’ll see. Especially because it’s been 10 years already and opinions haven’t really changed. Force awakens came out in 2015.

The prequels sucked. The sequels were ass.

Star Wars and Empire Strikes back were good.
Everything since has just been lightsaber toy product placement.
