Not Sparks.

Were you around in the late 90s-early 2000s? Because let me tell you that the prequels did not spark joy for people then. It was insane the amount of hate leveled at Ep 1-3. Hell kids at Jake Lloyd’s school bullied him so hard he quit acting.

So you never know, 7-9 might spark joy for people in 20 years.

Wait 10 years, and people will make memes and change public opinion about the sequels.

This is the first time I've seen praise for the prequels. Weird.

The prequels suck so much arse. They are proof positive that George Lucas did not make Star Wars on his own because without his ex and Kasdan what we got was unmitigated garbage with hideous design choices, awful soporific dialogue, overwrought action scenes and terrible, racist humour.

Fuck the prequels and fuck George Lucas. He ruined Star Wars for the true fans. I saw all of the original trilogy in their first runs. The prequels took a huge shit on everything I loved about Star Wars.

I member when this meme would've been OT vs prequels... Now I'm not bold enough to say we'll ever see the sequels redeemed and considered at least passable/sparks joy, but I'm also old and realize they weren't really made for me. Then again the prequels kinda were and I kinda hated them as a kid (aside from 3)...

This is some dumbass elitism. Let people enjoy what they enjoy. Star Wars is a space fantasy. Rey gets Jar Jar pregnant in the lost 10th movie. It was glorious.

Let's stop the collective gaslighting of pretending the prequels were good just because the new trilogy was garbage.

Permanently Deleted

V, half of IV and Rogue One spark joy.

The rest, not so much.

In ten years people will simp for the Sequels and shit on.... whatever the newest movie is.. "The new protag's not as cool as Rey!!1111"

It'll happen

People HATED the prequels when they came out, trust me. Your kids will love the new trilogy and you'll remember it with fondness. That's just the way it goes.

Serious question, how often have you rewatched the prequel trilogy? Say what you want about the sequel trilogy, but at least it can be entertaining. The prequels can be so boring.

Just wait until you're old and there's a new wave of kids for whom the sequels are a core part of the franchise. It's been freaky to watch it happen with the prequels.

Director Wars

I like ep7 honestly. It has problem, but it's also...fun? Ep8 is pure nonsense(carpet bomber in space...? Jedi leia?) and it makes me drop the whole franchise. I heard ep9 is even more nonsense.

I fell asleep watching ep1 lol.

Lol the prequels are shit

There are so many great ideas on the new trilogy that are just thew there on the movies and never expanded into a coherent story...

It seriously implies it would spark joy.

I thought that no one could do worse movies than the prequels. Disney proved me wrong.

It's certainly not the number one song in heaven.

I liked the sequels a lot actually
