    Prequels weren’t great, but they were decent. I’d recommend watching them.

    There is a lot to live up to being prequels. People going to judge harshly.

    7-8 were just plain bad, I enjoy Star Wars stuff a bunch. I like the prequels more than most I feel. I don’t even have one single care to watch the 9th.

    I doubt it will change in 10 years.

    Memes, sure, but they will be only how bad they suck. People who meme about the prequels usually enjoyed them at least a little.

      I love giving first time watchers the machete watching order. Watch episode 4 and 5, and then watch 2 and 3 to give Vader some backstory after he reveals that he’s Luke’s dad. Then cap it off with episode 6 as the conclusion for Luke’s and Anakin’s story.

      Or I can start with Rogue One. I know one of my friends became a fan after watching Rogue One.

        My new favorite order is been Rogue One, 4, 5, then 1, 2, and 3 of the Hal 9000 edits, then 6. The fan edits are generally a little shorter, so the watching them all between 5 and 6 is less of a slog than the original 1, 2, and 3.

      The prequels are bad. The third one started getting it right, but then they were done.

      They had good ideas to expand the Star Wars lore, but bad acting and bad writing ruined them.

      I actually prefer the sequels, but imo The Mandalorian is the best Star Wars project to date.

      8 killed Star Wars for me. I don’t think I will ever watch the 9. Or what ever cash grabs they try next.
