    I thought it was because of the lousy directing; convoluted storyline; hamfisted dialogue delivery; and excessive and sometimes laughable CGI?

    TBH I think the prequels were actually more fun than TFA and TLJ. Perhaps not necessarily better movies, but more fun anyway. That counts for a lot in my book.

    I think the prequel trilogy is one of those pop culture things that it just became cool to **** on over the years. Like Michael Bay and Nickelback.

    If you haven't yet... watch Mr Plinkett's review of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.

    He destroys them and tells EXACTLY why they are terrible. Lazy movies.

    I definitely liked TFA better than any of the prequels, but TLJ may very well be the worst ever made.

    Naw dude, they were legitimately bad films...bad enough that the franchise had to be taken away from Lucas.
    But here's the thing: Star Wars was great because of the time in which it appeared. None of it is special now, and will not create a nostalgia for the younger audience like it did for us olde phartz who were young teens in 1977. We try to pass it off as a great cultural touchstone to kids who see better special.effects in toothbrush commercials now. While it can he argued that Disney is just cashgrabbing with it, that's irrelevant because the franchise itself is irrelevant now.

    I originally watched the Last Jedi at the theatre and left hating it. I rented it from redbox today to rewatch it without the anticipation and yep... still hating it. It is such a clown show. So many parts are just ridiculously silly.

    Yes. They are legit bad movies... lazily made at that.

    But people expect Disney to not make money off it as well..?

    That's all fair and I agree. FWIW I wasn't saying the prequels were great films. It's just when it comes to certain genres I feel a movie can be "bad" from a filmmaking standpoint while also being entertaining/fun. Granted I haven't watched the prequels in many years. But from what I remember they weren't a complete waste of time. And Episode 3 in particular was a lot of fun.
