The sequels (or anything Disney, really) damaged Star Wars beyond repair, the way I see it. You can't say the same about the prequels.

The prequels were good ideas executed badly. The sequels have no redeeming virtues at all.

That's what people said about the prequels! Ahhhhh!

And now you're alongside people who grew up with the prequels, not just the boomers who raged at them.

I rather like the prequels. I love that they told an actually original storyline and weren't just a cashgrab. The sequels were so bad I've refused to even watch the 3rd one, some of the other spin-off media was good and explored original ideas - I think those are the ones that will be remembered fondly in 20 years not the movies.
