  Maybe not. I don’t think the prequels are good movies, but there’s no denying they’re some dumb fun that certainly appeals to a lot of people. The sequels don’t even have that going for them. I can’t imagine anyone being nostalgic about the return of Palpatine.

    What I’m getting at is that the way you’re talking about the sequels is exactly the way people spoke about the prequels when they came out.

    I hated the prequels when they came out, I still think they’re basically unwatchable. But they weren’t aimed at me, and a whole new generation of SW fans grew up with a deep fondness for them.

    I expect we’ll see the same thing with the sequels.

      I see your point, but wow, I hope not.

        Me too buddy, me too… and that is the optimism of Star Wars.
