I refuse to accept this whitewashing that the prequels were actually good. It should be a front half of a horse and then a complete clustefuck from then on out

They were the first star wars movies I watched as a kid and I still love them
It does seem boomeriffic to dismiss the prequels entirely even if they were jank and silly for adults that watched them when they came out.
I highly doubt the Disney trilogy will have kids remember them that fondly, or at all.
if kids could be made nostalgic for the damn Phantom Menace, they can be made nostalgic for the sequel trilogy
At least Phantom Menace was trying to do something original and coherent. It's a shit execution, but there's a story in there that doesn't suck.
All of Star Wars feels like a good story told poorly.
It also had podracing. There should be an entire movie or series that's just about the seedy podracing competitive scene.
Revenge of the Sith's good. A Phantom Menace is decent, though it has a more childish atmosphere even compared to the rest of the series. Attack of the Clones is mid.
Really, I like the plot of the prequel trilogy but the dialogue writing dropped the ball. I suppose it's also what made the movies meme masterpieces.
It's a mix of nostalgia, backlash to Disney, and the clone wars show retroactively semi-redeeming the prequels
