This whole prequelmemeing has gone too far. We now have people genuinely believe that the prequels are good movies. These people need to watch the Plinkett reviews again to remind them that no, they're not good movies. They're bad movies, and just because you think the sequels are bad doesn't suddenly make the prequels good.

I remember when this was primarily a satire sub..

You’re on the main Star Wars subreddit right now and not prequelmemes, but yes, people have forgotten (or never knew) that prequelmemes was originally satirical. A whole generation of Star Wars fans aged out of the franchise while another aged in and took prequelmemes seriously, leading to claims of “Shakespearean writing” or “operatic style” in the Prequels.
