When episode 2 was released I have already read at least 10 books from the star wars universe. Chronologically before episode 1 and after episode 6.
The authors of these books exchanged concepts, aligned the universe across ther works and put care into consistencz between different reads.
They probably even questioned george lucas about the possible future.
And then there came disney, dumped across years of work and didn’t bother to align anything.
This is why they suck hardcore to me.
And then these films are dump and just money-grabbing machines.
Fuck everything since disney. They simply suck hardcore.
If you hate the movies because they don’t respect the lore, I’m sorry to say I don’t think your opinion really matters.
To explain why, I’ll share my own experience. I am a massive fan of Dune, I’ve read the series multiple times and consider it my favourite art/series/thing. I kind of hated the recent movies because in my opinion they didn’t understand the source material and adapted it in a way that ruined what made the books so amazing to me. I couldn’t separate the movies from the books and it ruined my experience of watching the movies.
My point is that if you are so invested in the lore and backstory, you’re probably not able to assess the movies on their own merit. The prequels are god awful movies and you seem to have no issue with them.
BTW I’m not defending the sequels at all except to say that I thought FA was a fine movie.
I really couldn’t enjoy them.
It was going against my grain and I could tell every upcoming emotion upfront. It reminded me of these short-cutted youtube videos.
Some scenes were nostalgic but I did indeed feel robbed for all the potential stories missed and overwritten.
Since my friends had a good time I just focused on these few nostalgic moments which were nice to see after such a long time.
You gifted me the opportunity to reflect which I appreciate.

Hehe, you read me like a book.
I even liked episode one very much.
