I thought 7 and 8 were ok, but man, I'm really put off by 9

someone is confused

8 if you got rid of Rose, had Rey actually train, and gave more set-up to Leia's powers (or just killed her off completely), I think it would have been great

nope, only the first 3 were worth watching

Also, have Admiral Purple hair make Poe suicide instead of wasting the fleet

i ever thought the pre-quels were shit

just gave you ADHD

Nah. MD, you are off your rocker if you think the nu-qels could be good with just those few tweaks.

how many special effects can we squeeze into a 2 hr film?

It'd take a massive restructuring, a lot of cutting away and a lot of building on what made the originals good.

But TFA already blew its load.

MA, what's wrong with special effects, if all else is good?

All over what could have been a good trilogy.

not to mention the inconsistencies and character assasinations

The original was based on the Hero's Tale

crossed with WWII themes

and this is relevant, why?

Mmmmhmmm.

The pre-quels tried something else. Would have been good if Mr Lucas had any opposition that could actually gainsay his cockamamie ideas.

yip

At best they are mediocre, the prequels.

At worst they are... boring.

prequels were thrown together in a hap-hazard, ad-hoc way and it shows

it was more about effects than plot

But the prequels beat the nuquels.

they just made it up as they went instead of trying to bridge the story arc

Because the nuquels aren't trying to tell a story, but to destroy and subvert what came before.

a hammer to the fucking balls beats the nuquels

well, we are at least going into overtime and getting a point one way or another

this is true; that is all millenial assholes know how to do

Nah, manimal. The prequels had an idea. The Grand Fall of the Republic as orchestrated by a master politician from both sides of a conflict.

@ManAnimal Don't you put this all on millenials, boomer.

that was implied though

everything that was within that 'idea' was implied by the film

mmm the hbo series is pretty low budget

reduced cast

instead of focusing on the plot and the core of the three movies and having everything feed into that arc, they did stupid shit
