As great as the original trilogy legitimately is, I didn't really become a serious Star Wars fan until I discovered The Mandalorian Season 1 and the 2003 Star Wars: The Clone Wars series. Then I checked out Tartakovsky's Clone Wars series and ended up enjoying that too. So I'm sort of a fan of the prequel era of Star Wars, not so much for the movies themselves but the great series that spawned from them (including The Bad Batch series). The original trilogy may be better than the prequel movies, but we got so many awesome characters from the prequel time period like Ahsoka, Ventress, Grievous, and Bo-Katan. A lot of those characters resonate with me more than the ones from the original trilogy.

The Star Wars fandom is really interesting right now. You have the OG fans who think the original trilogy is better than anything and movie-wise they're not exactly wrong. Then you have prequel fans like me, mostly because of the awesome shows from that time period which actually elevated the material form the prequel movies, you have casual Star Wars fans who likely are only into it because of The Mandalorian and the sort of pop culture phenomenon Baby Yoda became, and then you have the woke, libtard, pronoun using weirdos who think the Disney movies are the best thing ever cause "the force is female!":rolleyes:

There's probably a whole other fandom too when it comes to the novels, video games, etc. that made up the Star Wars extended universe (before Disney nuked that universe out of existence)

SW:ANH & ESB, were great, but RotJ was disappointing on several levels. The regurgitated Death Star plot. The letdown of the showdown against Jabba and Boba Fett. Luke not fighting the Imperial Guard. Leia turning out to be Lukes's Sister was just plain awkward on every level and the Imperials best getting their asses handed to them by a bunch of Teddy bears just undercut any actual sense of peril . As for the rest of the films The only good thing in TPM was the Fight with Darth Maul, the rest of it was complete garbage. Didn't waste my time with the rest of the prequels, although I know the rough outline through cultural Osmosis. Got dragged to TFA by some friends as it was a group outing, I thought it was predictably terrible given it was another JJ Abrams remix with a twist and again I didn't bother with the rest of the Disney trilogy. I saw Rogue One via the High Seas and within itself I thought it was pretty good, however, it seemed wholly unnecessary.

I think at this juncture the IP is so tainted and hollowed out that it is hard to genuinely see where they could go with it esp given just how many of Lucas's bad ideas are baked into the core fabric of things.

In an ideal world, someone would come along and do a complete hard reboot of the franchise somewhat akin to what Ron D Moore did with Battlestar Galactica (before it went to shit). Keep the principal ideas in play (Empire, Jedi, Sith, The Force ) but dump a lot of Lucas and Disney's BS. I think to do that though, you'd need some people with actual creative vision to come in and figure out the world-building from the strategic, down to the granular, and I'm not sure there are many people out there who would be up to the task.

I loved the OG Trilogy and liked the prequels, but I knew I was ignoring a lot of flaws. There's great fan edits that made me enjoy them even more, but also exasperated the flaws. I also like the theory of Jar Jar originally being Sith but Lucas getting cold feet after the reception. That would have been pretty sick.
I liked Force Awakens and Last Jedi in the same way — accepting some level of flaw blinders — but the last movie was such a fuck you it changed my view of the Disney project and killed most of my love for the franchise.

the series for me in a gif:

My best friend was really into the books and "Extended Universe". I loved talking about it with him. He was pretty open-minded when Disney said they were tossing it. Last Jedi was a gut punch for him and it took me a few conversations and watching it again with him to fully get it.

It's the craziest thing in the world to me that "creatives" who get handed these franchises are always exposed as resentful of having to respect and live up to the legacy they inherited… they tear it down every time.
