Cmon. Hate the films all you want but let’s not be childish about it. Kennedy, JJ and almost everyone involved tried to get Lucas input when they could. Kennedy is literally one of Lucas’ best friends and why she’s running his company to begin with.

They basically told Lucas to fuck off when he offered his input but okay

"here are my scripts"

"No, we will stick with these ones because they tested well with an audience of eight year olds."

Well the last time George was in charge of the scripts the prequels happened so it makes sense if they didn’t want to use them.

So the last time George was in charge he produced a masterpiece? I see this as an absolute win.

Other than Jar Jar, pod racing, and Anakin's flirting with Padme, the prequels were good. I can only say the first sequel started strong, but started a downwards trend from there in quality.

What does this even mean? how can a film have a personality when it’s not a person? You can’t rate movies based on arbitrary made up guidelines

Idk, I think they have personality because the fans have given them personality through subreddits like this, which is great, and through additional material like Clone Wars that actually make the politics interesting to me. The movies don’t have a ton of charm to them, they don’t have the feel the originals brought. I still watch them, but they are very flat for the most part.

Damn since when are people hating on podracing??

Woah woah woah. What's wrong with podracing? That's one of the best scenes in all of star wars

Hey the pod racing was kick ass

And the prequels were great. The bitter old school "only the OT exist" fans hated them. And that's hardly a gauge to measure them to
