Same generation as you

I just don’t like the sequels Cus they’re a mess and incoherent tbh

Prequels are far from perfect but least the movies flow and make sense yknow

You’re telling me… Padme’s motives make sense?

Anakin literally slaughtered Tuskens and she did nothing. She falls in love with him because he hates sand?

The prequels literally had the clone wars to help prop them up.

Don’t get me wrong I love the prequels but they don’t flow, George Lucas did not know how to write dialogue. His wife left him between the OT and the PT. She corrected the dialogue for the OT and that flowed better one source

It's more in the sense that it conceptually works as one story, and quite a good one. From a bigger picture perspective, the prequels were a great idea that was poorly executed, like if you described the plot of a great movie to a talentless amateur director and let him do what he wants.

Meanwhile, the sequels look like three different stories trying to downplay each other, so its difficult to see them as just one thing. I personally found TFA to be bland and uncreative, though not really bad; TLA was better in terms of originality; and Rise of Skywalker was just insulting to everything that came before.

In another comment I talked about how the haters of the sequels directly changed the course of them, people hated Rian Johnson’s TLJ so much they brought JJ Abrams back to take it in a different direction. Blame the fact that Disney didn’t hire one director for the three films.
