I'm not a fan of the prequels but at least they had a story and a point. Their delivery was awful but you can watch each of them and see a grand tale being told and, aside from midichlorians, they did respect the force and the original trilogy they were building up to. They also expanded the galaxy is so many ways that served the extended universe really well. The Sith and the Rule of two, Darth Plagueis tale, Maul, QuiGon, Windu, Coruscant etc.
To anyone that's remotely interested, read the official Revenge of the Sith novel by Matthew Stover, its brilliant and shows just how much potential George Lucas's vision had. Then go and read The Last Jedi novel and all you find is a writer trying to make excuses for an originally badly written script. It's embarrassing.
Unlike the prequels this new trilogy has been made up on the fly with no goal. They brought in a director to do the middle movie who is so far up his own *** he cant tell what stinks anymore. The man masquerades on social media and Lucasfilm in-house interviews as saying he's saving Star Wars as if it were some lowly franchise with a failing fanbase. Honestly just have a look at what the man's been doing and saying since TLJ came out, he's a completely deluded whack job and a yes man to Kathleen Kennedy who is more interested in the American feminist justice movement. These people are literally coming on screen, waging their finger at our enjoyment of the original Star Wars movies and saying "We know better than you, you're wrong for liking that."
