>>9854683>But I think a lot of people are forgetting just how poor the prequels were for story, acting, cgi (overuse), characterisation, and a bunch of other stuff. Having good music doesn't help any of that.Were you born in 1999, thus have no real memories of how normies and fans actually treated the prequels?
Normies were blown the fuck away by the prequels and every movie was a fucking event and an orgy of merch sales.
Critics mostly liked the movies.
Fans ate it up like it was candy, hence two cartoon series being made. Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars series was a massive success, both in ratings and merch sales. Then 3 years after Revenge of the Sith, since fans were still pumped up for even more prequel material, another Clone Wars series was created. This cartoon went for 6 years, right up to Disney buying the series and another prequels series was created after that, which went on for 4 years, until Disney wanted to create a sequels based cartoon... that failed, because the sequels are largely disliked by fans.
If fans didn't like the prequels, there wouldn't have been a solid decade of prequel series being lapped up by fans and children alike.
Even today, everything that is being produced is either about the prequels or OT, because they still have a large fanbase.
Just because there was heavy criticism by popular reviewers for the prequels doesn't mean fans hated the prequels. People mistaking these reviews as being popular opinion is the real historical revisionism.
