My first guess is the Sequel Trilogy was so bad people suddenly started thinking the Prequels looked good by comparison

This.

They also are entertaining and have soul. We were spoiled with movies back then, looking at the schlock that gets put out now these are great pure fun movies.

This basically. I have a lot of love for the prequels. But I recall being lambasted for thinking this since their release. Suddenly Disney shits the bed and the prequels are cool. I don't buy it. Bunch of posers. Original trilogy is still much better overall

Kids who grew up on the prequels are becoming adults now. I worked in a group home with traumatized kids for a while years ago. The prequrls were thier favorite star wars.

The sequels are shitty, that may be why

You wouldn't understand a mans romance, foid

I went back and rewatched Revenge of the Sith a couple years ago because of Camille Paglia, and was unironically blown away. I think people make the mistake of thinking that the greatest movie is the most flawless movie, as though the function of film were to correctly deploy official cinematic techiniques in the proper manner at the given time. Having her put it in the context of opera, ballet, installation art, comparing it to Bernini and Caspar David Friedrich, really helped me to approach it with the right mindset.

They may not be good movies, but they are great movies (especially RotS). You just have to know how to watch them.

Pleb filters

I'm fine with prequel love as long as people dont try to discredit the Original Trilogy with it. The prequels are fun but the OT is still better.

Because the sequels proved that the prequels not only weren't that bad, they actually got a nice story and plot overall, its just that GL and his directors didn't quite direct it right.

Idk but it disheartens me because in five years people will be doing the same with the sequel trilogy

Besides, Clone Wars already saved the Prequels. It made those movies way better. They still have to animate Dark Disciple though.

>in five years people will be doing the same with the sequel trilogy
No they wont. The sequel trilogy has so many plot holes, so many contradictions, it shits in so many old characters (Luke, Anakin, etc), it is irredeemable.
The prequels just weren't directed right, had some shitty dialogues, etc., but the core plot were quite good, and it was cohesive at least.

This has been going on for years, newfag
Sequel trilogy is predates by years by prequel apologists

we already have a fucking thread

Nostalgia is part of it, but also the series of vids shitting on them around the time RotS came out. If you read the original reviews and fan forums, the only prequel that was actually mediocre was AotC. The sequels were just so bad that people are starting to remember how full of fun and soul the prequels were

And also, the sequels werent made by George Lucas, and in fact we have information that he himself didn't like it.
In fact, people are gonna despise the sequels even more as the years go by.

How? If you aren't able to see the beauty in them now, how can you later? The prequels, part of the series made by George Lucas were always good and the jokes people make about them, I believe, are in good faith. The sequels are made by a corporation, purely for money, with very little to no artistic merit or passion, and they are built not for children, but manchildren.

>how?
Because we said the same fucking things back when the prequels came out and here I am years later seeing countless threads praising those awful movies circle jerking it to hell and back.

And if you don't think that's going to happen to the sequels when the kids start getting older you're deluding yourself

I saw them recently after some 15~ years without watching them, same for OT, and I can say the PT is better than I remembered. It's just that they're more plot-heavy stories, less exciting than the OT and with some clunky bits. They're not masterpieces but still pretty good, though I can see why people who expected the OT (self-contained exciting adventure movies) were completely disappointed when the PT movies came out. Also, AOTC's slow pace is easier to appreciate as an adult, as a kid I thought it was just boring.

But the difference is they will be wrong.

You overestimate zoomers liking SW m8. Majority of SW fans are nerd manchildrens, normies at best watch the movies like they watch Bay's Transformers and forget about it couple of months later. Nobody formed "connections" with the sequel characters, except twitter girls.

Bullshit claim, they will try but you can't hide TLJ

>recently
How much of a newfag are you? This board has always liked the prequels. It's the rest of the series that is reddit.

It's just contrarian meming that's it. They saw a nigger in TFA's trailer so now AotC is a Shakespearean masterpiece out is spite.

Sheev posting wasn't praise for the PT, newfag.

It is now

>giving a fuck what this shitty board likes

>The PT didn't have blacks
>The OT didn't have blacks

People who like the prequels are wrong too and it's not stopping them.
Yeah I remember saying the same thing about how nobody could connect to jar jar and him alone is why nobody will ever like/defend the prequels
I thought attack of the clones would be the coffin nail too

That's how you know is a Disney shill trying to run damage control

Not as big of a fuck up as tlj

The entire goddamn catalogue of Zig Forums for a week after TFA dropped was Finn's ugly face and ranting about sjws
