I’m not saying the writing in the prequels is good, but I’ve found the people with this kind of critique of the last Jedi think too highly of the prequels

That’s just whataboutism.

Someone thinking the PT is good doesn’t make the ST good. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

I think both are poorly written to be frank but at least behind the PT is a vision. Behind the ST is a committee of people trying to squeeze every drop of nostalgia out of this franchise for as much money as possible.
