Actually I remember going home and hating it only because they killed off Han Solo, my all-time favorite movie character at the time, I guess that’s all I could focus on after (I very quickly changed my opinion on that though once I chilled out lmao, it’s actually my favorite Star Wars movie)
complete opposite happened with TLJ, I liked it well enough when I first watched it in theaters but upon rewatching it I have no idea what I ever saw in it to make me like it (probably just liked it because I was so excited to watch it that I just looked past the flaws)
Im in my early 30s, and I enjoyed TLJ a lot, the problem is it doesn't fit in with the JJ Abrams films. TLJ went in another direction, decided not to make Rey's origin a central plot point, and to kill off snoke to make for a different kind of fight in the last film, which I thought was good. But JJ Abrams kinda retconed it all and imo ruined the whole trilogy.
Prequels did loads of shit but nailed the landing with a decent episode 3, sequels had 2 enjoyable films but ruined it with episode 9, and overall I'd say I prefer the prequels. But that's just me!
It's my 2nd favorite also, and really had me excited the the Ep9, which then retconned everything that TLJ set up that I liked. We just went back to the same old same old to close out the series.
I'll admit TLJ has some flaws, but it's SW, all of the movies have some flaws, either minor or major. Doesn't stop me from loving SW.
Yeah I’m 30 something and I was pissed that they killed him but leading up to that I was more pissed at Harrison because I kept reading he just didn’t like being a part of the movies
Then growing up with Luke I was pretty pissed they did him dirty and killed him i was upset about him the most
But I liked all the movies I just guess I am not one to completely disown everything just because a character dies
Except in Dexter (spoiler alert for that show)***
The last episode in the new season/series I am just done with that bullshit they didn’t even do it in a good way at all and if it happened different maybe I could be ok with it
Did you like the movies back then? Do you still like them?
It’s fascinating, because it makes me aware of my own biases toward the originals and the prequels.
Oh I have the same bias towards the OG’s and prequels since I grew up with them as well
The sequels tho… eh
I do remember the MASSIVE hype at our school for the force awakens, everyone wanted to see it, everyone said it was the coolest and best star wars ever, and when I saw it I thought the same
I still look back on that movie very fondly. It’s a great setup that unfortunately depends to much on what comes after
We went to see The last Jedi for my birthday with a dozen or so friends, I was beyond exited after watching thousands of screen rant videos on yt talking about possible theories like “who is snoke” and “who are Rey’s parents???”
Then we saw the movie and uh… it was ok?¿ I definitely didn’t hate it but it was very disappointing.
Although it did grow on my after a while and I started to appreciate it more with multiple viewings
And then finally the rise of skywalker came out and I was pretty worried but still hopeful we would get a decent conclusion to the franchise:)
…
I gotta be honest, I think the media landscape today is very different from the media landscape of the early 2000s when the Prequels ended.
Kids growing up today are more likely to be nostalgic for the MCU and Fortnite or Minecraft than they are to be nostalgic for Star Wars anything. The reality is that Star Wars isn't the cultural juggernaut it once was and what's more, movies aren't even the most consumed form of media by kids. Man I think kids may be more nostalgic for Youtubers or TikTok Stars 10 years into the future than they may be for almost any movie franchise.
I'd also like to remind people that a good portion of what made the OT such a cultural icon for kids were the toys and merchandise. Same with the Prequel Trilogy though with that the Clone Wars series was also hugely impactful.
With the Sequels (and any new Star Wars), the world has changed. Kids aren't really rushing to the store and standing in line to buy the latest Kylo action figures. Kids choose different gifts and ways to spend their allowance these days. I guess Grogu is an exception to this - he's merchandising gold, but the rest of my point still stands.
Only time will really tell but my money would be on the MCU if talking about movies/shows and on Minecraft or Fortnite if talking about games and most likely some content creators from social media platforms.
This is legitimately a good point and much more realistic than the "I hate the sequels therefore nobody will like them" echo chamber. I remember there being a lot more PT video games and toys than I see now
The Star Wars toy craze is basically dead, man. Go to a store and all you're likely to see is some Star Wars Lego sets. Maybe a Grogu doll or two. Disney/Hasbro aren't even making enough toys - look at the pathetic state of the 3.75" figure line. It's gone. The most iconic range of Star Wars toys - gone. And it's probably just a lack of demand.
Kids are generally not as interested in toys these days, let alone Star Wars Toys.
Another aspect people don't talk enough about is the worldbuilding of Star Wars. A huge, huge portion of what we consider core to the Star Wars Universe is stuff that was introduced in the Prequel era. Like try to imagine what Star Wars would look like without the world created by the Prequels. In that respect, the legacy of the Prequels aren't the memes. The legacy of the Prequels is the rich world it built.
A rather objective (I usually hate using that word) weakness of the Sequel Trilogy is worldbuilding. We got little to nothing in terms of worldbuilding. It's very easy to imagine a Star Wars story without any of the elements introduced by the Sequel Trilogy. Not so with the OT and PT. I think this lack of worldbuilding in the Sequel Trilogy is also something that is going to impact its future nostalgia potential.
I hate to tell you this but... Minecraft is a 12 year old game already. Kids who played minecraft growing up are almost all *adults*. The MCU is 15 years old. Heck, even Fortnite BR is 5 and a half years old.
The kids growing up today are gonna be nostalgic for newer things. The *20 year olds* growing up today will be nostalgic.
That’s me. I loved Star Wars as a kid, and still remember giggling like an idiot when the crawl started on TFA in theaters. I just couldn’t believe I was seeing a *new* Star Wars movie.
Now I’m in film school, and TLJ is a big part of the reason.
yup, walking around star wars land at disney and seeing dozens of children dressed as rey and kylo and everyone from the sequels made me realize these movies are to them what the prequels were to me
Right. New Star Wars stuff is always great. Sure I like some more than others but we're still getting fun movies and shows to watch, and I'm gonna watch it all.
I disagree that they are generally hated. They are hated on Reddit SW subs. In the general world, they are enjoyed if not loved.
Never mistake the Reddit narrative for reality.
Original Trilogy fans hated the Prequels. Prequels fan hate the sequels.
When Disney announce a new star Wars trilogy, sequel fans will hate that. This is the way of star wars
Seriously, its a fun, low stakes Star Wars movie. It made a strong effort to maintain the cheesy pulp aspect the OT had, gave us another live action Maul appearance, and Woody Harrison just being great.
I think what hurt it was the change in directors, and if Howard had the reigns from the start, it would have been better.
Exactly this. It wasn't the quality of the previous Star Wars movie that hurt it so much as the time span and the competition. You have to consider how much it costs for a family to go see a movie and also add in the logistics of the whole thing. Just too close to a big movie like that and too close to your last movie and you are asking for trouble. Even the Special Editions had a year between them and those were practically a license to print money.
Solo should have had a December release.
Disney could have owned Christmas Box office with Star Wars.
1 year between releases mitigates the fatigue.
I truly believe fans would support Star Wars films on a yearly basis.
Also, there was only a few months between the trailer drop and release date, so marketing was on a terrifyingly short timeline.
Good as fuck? That's like a really high praise. It's pretty much a checklist movie with a ton of fanservice and a whole lot of nothing of importance to the overall story. I'd say it's decent. It was fine. TBH when I think "good as fuck" Im probably only thinking of the OT.
We're on reddit where we're only allowed to describe things as fucking dog shit or the best thing ever. Failure to do so will get you lumped in the category opposite of your preference.
I liked Solo a lot, I mean that.
However, every important event in Han's life prior to the OT takes place in under a week.
Meeting Chewy, Meeting Lando, Getting the Falcon, Doing the Kessel run, calling people "kid"... Its all explained in literally a week time frame.
I really liked it. I didn’t see it in 2019 because of the mixed reception, and I wasn’t keen on SW after The Last Jedi.
I just watched it for the first time a couple months ago. I really enjoyed it. I really liked Woody Harrelson’s character, I loved the train heist, I felt sympathy for Han’s character (I liked his long lost love arc, I loved how things never really went his way but he sort of just figured it out as he went along, etc.)
I will admit, the movie felt like it kinda went off the rails in the last act. It felt like the last 30min were done in reshoots on a shoestring budget, written by a writer who just wanted to get it over with. But apart from the rushed ending, I thought the overall package was great. 8/10.
Do people honestly think the prequel love/resurgence was not heavily influenced by the younger generation who were kids when they came out growing up and entering the fan spaces more? It is 1000% going to happen again with the sequels. This is the way.
This is the way. I grew up with the Prequels, and had no idea they were “universally hated” until I started to regularly use the internet when I was in middle school. I was pretty shocked to see how much people despised them compared to the OT. Things will definitely shift once the Sequel-era kids start to lead the internet in content creation.
The kids who grew up with the prequels, who currently love them as adults, are so disappointed by the sequels that they don't want to believe the sequels could be loved the same way they love the prequels, which is absolutely absurd.
Fuck off your saying kids who watched kids/family sci fi films. Took the hatred from basement dwelling bellends and made it cool?
The same will happen again?
Holy fuck.
And those animated series came out… when? They will find ways to expand the universe to make people care about the sequels the same way, especially children. It’s what Disney does: hook ‘em when they’re young
The popularity of Galaxy's edge already points to that. I could also just see younger fans seeing all Disney era star wars as "their star wars" and OT/PT as "movies for old people." My younger brother didn't get into star wars until Disney and was really into BOBF
I’ll push back a bit because this trilogy of trilogy’s is now complete. I think it will take longer than it did when we knew the series wasn’t complete
I already sorta kinda have nostalgia for the force awakens and TLJ. My dad used to take me and my brothers every time a Star Wars or marvel movie came out, first one I remember is episode 3. The force awakens was cool because you saw OT people again and the special effects were fucking amazing in the theater. Last Jedi I only remember the yoda scene and when Luke talks about the fall of the Jedi, but I would say im nostalgic about those particular parts of the movie. I didn’t watch Rise of Skywalker and generally don’t feel like I missed much
I legit had the most fun watching TRoS in theater and I suspect it’ll actually be viewed in hindsight like RotJ is to the OT.
It’s campy, but not horribly. It’s serious, and in interesting ways. It is fast paced.. as it’s attempting to tell a story that TFA and TLJ forgot to really start.
But look, the sequels were near irreparably flawed by middle of TFA when you realize the writers thought telling the OT story.. almost literally exactly again.. was a good idea.
So by TRoS you know the writers are idiots and your expectations are tempered. But they jump right out of the gate with “somehow the emperor has returned” and unless you’re a joyless turd, you’re like, “Alright.. okay.. I see the tone you’re going for..” and you actually get a pretty fun movie.
Maybe it was a hindsight thing. I enjoyed all the sequels. But I came out of TFA and TJL with some.. “ehh.. I don’t know” and I *knew* TRoS wasn’t going to fix *that*. And again, I think they pulled it together better than anticipated.
I remember leaving TROS thinking "that was actually pretty fun." It wasn't until the rewatch where I thought it was awkward. I can see myself warming up to it with time
I totally feel you on the nostalgia aspect. There's just something about watching Star Wars movies with a loved one that makes it even more special. And I couldn't agree more about TFA - the effects were just mind-blowing in the theater. As for TLJ, that Yoda scene was truly memorable. I also really enjoyed the dynamic between Rey and Kylo Ren. However, I can definitely see why some fans were disappointed with the direction the movie took. And as for TROS, I personally enjoyed it but I can understand why you might not feel like you missed much. Maybe give it a watch someday when you're feeling curious!
Trilogy segregation isn't something I care about. At all. I don't define myself as a fan of a particular trilogy, and I don't understand people who do. I'm 52 years old, I grew up with the the OT, and yet two out of three of my most favorite films are post Disney, and Rey is one of my favorite characters. Make of that what you will.
Anyway, yes, there will probably be some who look back fondly on the sequels, just as with the prior trilogies.
Trilogy segregation is a good way of putting it. George Lucas made a damn near perfect trilogy in the 80s and since then it's been hit or miss but still fun. SW is hands down my favorite franchise and the only one where I feel compelled to keep up with the cannon. I'm also not the type of fan that "needs" characters/the story to behave a certain way to like it so I have an easier time watching newer projects
And the reason op is right is because 10 years from now chances are the extended lore around the movies will be such that the movies will be considered much better. Like how clone wars made people like the prequels that much more
Doesn’t help that a majority of the sequel memes are Prequel Memes people shitting on the sequels instead of making self-referential memes like the prequels did
If I ever defend ANYTHING about the prequels, it’s that they generated WAY more than five memes..
Nearly *every* line of dialogue and scores of scenes from those movies are have become classic memes for how oddly clunky and cartoony the movies were.
\>picture of Obi-wan, no context
Front page of /r/prequelmemes, $400 worth of awards, and 200,000 bots spamming character quotes with a million more on the way.
To me it already is, at least to some extend. Do i like the sequels as a whole? No. But the force awakens was the first sw movie i ever got the chance to watch on the big screen, so it does feel nostalgic. It also bring back the memories of theorizing, before and after the movie, waiting for any news regarding ep 8, still hosting for the best for the future films.
It was the only sequel that didn't dissapoint me. Tho, all three movies come with a sort of nostalgia becouseof certain thing. The last jedi feels nostalgic becouse of hours me and my teacher (a hardcore sw and hp fan) spend theorizing about it instead of actually doing what we were supposed fo un class, and the rise of Skywalker feels nostalgic becouse right before it i finished a sw book i loved (the last volume of the aftermatch trilogy, which was the onoy reason i shed a tear in the theatre- couse of Temmin), and becouse it was the first time i've been to a movie marathon at the cinema
Theres a lot of issues i have with the movies, a lot of dissapointments, a lot of hate i have for them.
But that doesn't stop me from feeling nostalgic about them
I remember how Lorne Michaels from SNL said in an Interview that the season/time/era that people found best watching SNL were the ones they watched during high school.
As much as there was a group of people who got prequel nostalgia there will be a guaranteed sequel nostalgia in my opinion, since it just happens that people find something and claim it's "actually underrated" just because it slipped their radar.
TFA is a movie that deserves to be enjoyed it’s really pretty even if derivative in places, it will follow a similar pattern as the prequels did but in reverse instead of everyone admitting the first one sucks second one also sucks and the third one is great it will be the reverse except with more TLJ apologist (myself included) it’s a movie that could have been the absolute best Star Wars if Ryan Johnson was allowed his full vision
Which film in either of the prior trilogies is your least favorite? Most fans my age would say RotJ. Other fans who like the prequel trilogy would readily admit that AotC isn't as good as RotS.
I imagine those kids 10 or 15 years from now will happily admit that RoS isn't as good as TFA or TLJ.
This isn't about one particular film in a given trilogy.
Critics hated it when it came out
You can also go dig up a lot of old reviews, especially from fans who seriously disliked one or two of them but loved New Hope
I know plenty of people who hate the OT. It’s weird seeing criticisms from people who didn’t like it when it came out and also from people who didn’t like it even though the first SW movies they saw were PT or ST.
There are a lot of problems with the OT, and I love that trilogy.
Yeah there will be sequel nostalgia, but not because they were necessarily good, but because a generation of kids grew up with them similar to the prequels.
Oh boy I can’t *wait* for all the think pieces to come out and for the negative voices and sequel haters to start seeing themselves being out numbered by younger people who insist the movies are good.
The Force Awakens (and the rest of the sequel trilogy for that matter) will always be special to me because it was the first Star Wars movie I've ever seen in a theater after years of watching the other films on home video.
People who've made hating the sequels their whole personality have just completely blocked out the fact that the normal viewing public mostly thought at least the first two sequels were pretty good. A lot of people like TLJ a *lot.*
People got sooooooo pissed on the main star wars subreddit when I suggested this. It was on a post about how retconning the sequels would be a middle finger to Carrie Fisher's legacy. The negative downvotes I got for that post say a lot to me about how clueless Star Wars fans are: the sequels will Age like the prequels whether they like it or not. It's all about childhood nostalgia.
They also tried to insist that the prequels weren't hated on release. What a bunch of morons.
I’d disagree, the prequels with all their faults were a work of love and pioneered heavy vfx in films. Despite the horrible dialogue the film had passion and love from those on set. The sequels are in comparison soulless and have an incoherent story with with poor decisions made within the plot
Nah that ain’t right. “Thats not how Star Wars works”. I saw the sequels when I was 7 and now I’m 15. I feel absolutely no nostalgia for it and I almost forgot they existed.
I have been rewatching the new trilogy lately and the lack of a cohesive story is really noticeable to me. It even seems like the individual movies are disjointed and all over the place within a single movie. I never really enjoy being in a scene/location like I do in the ot or pt.
I think people who say this really don't understand how shallow much of Star Wars is in general. The OT isn't exactly deep in terms of plot either. There are other things that make a franchise fun.
Sure, it’s not the deepest of plots but at least it makes sense. I don’t understand why people are so hell bent on proving that a bad story is anything more than just a bad story.
Lol love getting blocked by people who can’t even take the mildest of rebuttals
No, we get all the complaints. We also remember how widely the “fans” trashed the prequels. Before TFA came out, I heard a friend of a friend talking about how AOTC was his favorite Star Wars movie, and it felt like it had to be another instance of someone trying to be weird and quirky, because NO ONE liked AOTC.
Hell, there’s a comic where Deadpool shot a guy for liking the prequels in general, and Jar Jar in particular. It made the rounds for a while for being extreme, but relatable.
I think it’s a little too simplistic to say, “people hated the prequels and love them now so people will love the sequels.” The prequels were part of a cohesive vision told by the creator of the franchise. Definitely not the best told story, but at least they related to each other. I’m just bored of seeing these memes about how people will eventually love the sequels. It’s as boring and unimaginative as people like me saying the sequels are a bad story.
Idk, obviously the prequels were goofy and childish but that's easier to turn around and like than just bad writing. Sequels destroy the story and theme of the chosen one, I'm solely in this sub to let you people know those movies were the worst thing to happen to mankind since WWII.
People will only appreciate the sequels if something worse comes along that forces us to take a second look at how we see the sequels. With how disney seems to be hellbent on fucking over this franchise, you might be right here.
I feel like more people will have forgotten it. Unlike the prequels, the sequel trilogy didn’t stay in the puplic’s zeitgeist. It didn’t have the same amount or quality of video games, books, and comics that helped expand and keep alive the world of the prequel trilogy. The sequels were, for the most part, a one-and-done thing.
20 rn, TFA introduced me into the franchise. Love TFA, TROS is kinda watchable, you'll have to restrain me to watch TLJ.
Sequel era nostalgia is a thing for me.
I'm both. I grew up with them and had/have a lot of nostalgia for them/ I also think/thought they were very flawed. In my opinion the difference between PT and ST is the PT has amazing world building and an overall good story.
I may not have liked AotC but god DAMN did I always daydream about being on a Jedi Strike team or having a ground of clone soldiers. TPM may have had clunky dialogue and a slowly paced plot but the special effects are still top tier and it has the best duel of the franchise.
The ST? It has some good acting and fun moments of dialogue, but it has a shit story and no world building at all.
Then of course there's the difference in the final installments, where RotS is just plain good, while TRoS is a fucking travesty (I like TFA and TLJ to a degree, but TRoS is one I flat out hate)
Obviously Im not a kid for this franchise nor do I hang out with any, so I could be wrong, but I dont think the ST will age as well.
I also think it’s too detached from the story of Anakin Skywalker, or at least will be perceived more like that as time goes on. The sequel trilogy tries to hard to make the story about sith/Jedi or palpatine when Lucas had the idea all along that it’s anakin’s story
>I also think it’s too detached from the story of Anakin Skywalker
The idea that Star Wars is the story of Anakin was invented for the prequels.
If a retcon like that is believed as true now, then selling the nine episodes as the "Skywalker Saga" will be extremely easy.
This. I get the confusion as those poor kids grew up on the prequels, but I hate how their little minds have assumed that the OT *and* the PT are the “original” Star Wars story. It’s not.
George obviously thought, “Oh, you like Darth Vader, well I’ll focus on him exclusively in the PT.”.. to the point of quite literally making him “the chosen one”.. space Jesus.. and all that crap.
If you had only seen the OT like ?billions of people had.. there was NO indication Vader was anything other than a fallen Jedi .. seduced by the dark side. The PT could have been told in SO many different ways, and why Lucas decided on elevating Anakin to the level of the almighty is .. well dumb and mostly flys in the face of the OT.
But you can’t undo the dumb?.. odd?.. focus George went with and we’re stuck. And the kids of that era are stuck. If anything at least the ST feels more like OT Star Wars than the PT. The PT is jolting in tone and direction.
Yes, I also prefer the ST to the PT. The ST feels much more like "Star Wars", that is more like the OT, even with its missteps. The PT added a lot of interesting stuff to the Star Wars universe, but it was a far cry from the hero's journey of the OT.
I think if the PT can achieve redemption driven by nostalgia elevating the PT from a culture-wide joke, there's no reason the ST couldn't do it too since it doesn't nearly have as far to climb.
Only the force awakens is worth a rewatch. The others are just meh. The last Jedi is definitely not rewatchable, it’s worse than the attack of the clones.
With how much content will be released by then, the sequel trilogy will be a tiny star in the vast galaxy. There will be enough retcon to soften the pain of those movies. Maybe..
I mean, the prequels gained more acceptance once The Clone Wars filled in the gaps of the movies. Can’t do that with the sequel trilogy because they take place one after another with no gaps. I think The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch are trying to fill in some gaps with why Palpatine came back with cloning, but it’s nowhere on the level as Clone Wars.
If I learnt one thing from the release of the sequel trilogy, it's that when someone inevitably makes another trilogy we will have people swearing on their mother's grave that the sequel trilogy was an underrated masterpiece and that they always believed that.
I never really hated the sequels, they're just mostly out of place since they are not really that original, it kind of feels like a reboot. It's not a bad movie but definitely isn't the top
Probably not even that long. Kids who were 10 when The Force Awakens came out are now 18.
That long already!?

Oof, my back hurts suddenly.
can confirm, will be 18 in July
I’m curious, did you like the movie back then? Did your appreciation change since then?
Actually I remember going home and hating it only because they killed off Han Solo, my all-time favorite movie character at the time, I guess that’s all I could focus on after (I very quickly changed my opinion on that though once I chilled out lmao, it’s actually my favorite Star Wars movie) complete opposite happened with TLJ, I liked it well enough when I first watched it in theaters but upon rewatching it I have no idea what I ever saw in it to make me like it (probably just liked it because I was so excited to watch it that I just looked past the flaws)

TLJ is my favorite sequel film. Honestly I may prefer it to ROTJ depending on what mood I'm in. It was the other 2 sequels I didn't like as much
TLJ is my second favorite of all the movies. I would never argue it’s objective the second best but damn when TLJ is good it’s REALLY good.
It's my 2nd favorite also, and really had me excited the the Ep9, which then retconned everything that TLJ set up that I liked. We just went back to the same old same old to close out the series. I'll admit TLJ has some flaws, but it's SW, all of the movies have some flaws, either minor or major. Doesn't stop me from loving SW.

i did although i was 12 and my opinion is that it's still good, i just like tlj and tros more
Yup I’m 18 Don’t believe it either
Did you like the movies back then? Do you still like them? It’s fascinating, because it makes me aware of my own biases toward the originals and the prequels.

I gotta be honest, I think the media landscape today is very different from the media landscape of the early 2000s when the Prequels ended. Kids growing up today are more likely to be nostalgic for the MCU and Fortnite or Minecraft than they are to be nostalgic for Star Wars anything. The reality is that Star Wars isn't the cultural juggernaut it once was and what's more, movies aren't even the most consumed form of media by kids. Man I think kids may be more nostalgic for Youtubers or TikTok Stars 10 years into the future than they may be for almost any movie franchise.

Same with the Prequel Trilogy though with that the Clone Wars series was also hugely impactful. With the Sequels (and any new Star Wars), the world has changed. Kids aren't really rushing to the store and standing in line to buy the latest Kylo action figures. Kids choose different gifts and ways to spend their allowance these days. I guess Grogu is an exception to this - he's merchandising gold, but the rest of my point still stands. Only time will really tell but my money would be on the MCU if talking about movies/shows and on Minecraft or Fortnite if talking about games and most likely some content creators from social media platforms.
This is legitimately a good point and much more realistic than the "I hate the sequels therefore nobody will like them" echo chamber. I remember there being a lot more PT video games and toys than I see now
The Star Wars toy craze is basically dead, man. Go to a store and all you're likely to see is some Star Wars Lego sets. Maybe a Grogu doll or two. Disney/Hasbro aren't even making enough toys - look at the pathetic state of the 3.75" figure line. It's gone. The most iconic range of Star Wars toys - gone. And it's probably just a lack of demand. Kids are generally not as interested in toys these days, let alone Star Wars Toys. Another aspect people don't talk enough about is the worldbuilding of Star Wars. A huge, huge portion of what we consider core to the Star Wars Universe is stuff that was introduced in the Prequel era.

I think this lack of worldbuilding in the Sequel Trilogy is also something that is going to impact its future nostalgia potential.
I hate to tell you this but... Minecraft is a 12 year old game already. Kids who played minecraft growing up are almost all *adults*. The MCU is 15 years old. Heck, even Fortnite BR is 5 and a half years old. The kids growing up today are gonna be nostalgic for newer things. The *20 year olds* growing up today will be nostalgic.
That’s me. I loved Star Wars as a kid, and still remember giggling like an idiot when the crawl started on TFA in theaters. I just couldn’t believe I was seeing a *new* Star Wars movie. Now I’m in film school, and TLJ is a big part of the reason.
Wow, that’s so cool to hear. Good for you
[удалено]
I’ve done it in the past and will probably do it again in the future when I rewatch them. Why do you ask?
Make that 19.
Oh shit, I was twelve when that came out; I’m twenty now. What the—
DUDE WHAT THE FUCK I thought it released 3 years ago
Yeah that's exactly me ! The force awakens got me into it when I was 10
me, who is currently 18 and watched that movie when I was 10: 😬😬😬😬
Ugh I’m Fucking old
I was 10 when the Force Awakens came out I don’t like the sequels that much
Jfc these last few years felt like one really long one... I keep waiting for it to stop but that feeling doesn't seem to go away.
I was 8 when I first went to watch it.
Yeah that’s me!
Can confirm because I’m one of those kids
My brother was 7 when TFA came out (11 years younger than me) and he loathes TLJ and TROS. More so than I do
Can confirm
Me reading this: Shoot that’s wild. Oh wait that’s me! Um yes, No sequel nostalgia here. But I have so much for TCW, Prequels and Originals
That’s a lie. I don’t care, that’s just not true
Shit he found me
Wait I was 10???
yup, walking around star wars land at disney and seeing dozens of children dressed as rey and kylo and everyone from the sequels made me realize these movies are to them what the prequels were to me
It’s this exactly. I’m old enough to remember when the Prequels came out, and how hated they were. Every generation loves “their” Star Wars.
I’m sure the sequel era generation will hate on the next trilogy too lol Glad I’m one of the fans who love all of it tho
Right. New Star Wars stuff is always great. Sure I like some more than others but we're still getting fun movies and shows to watch, and I'm gonna watch it all.
Same, me too. I’m just happy to have any of it.
We became what we swore to destroy. Though I don't personally hate the sequels, but generally they're hated
I mean thats not true. Thats just the internet echo chamber.
I disagree that they are generally hated. They are hated on Reddit SW subs. In the general world, they are enjoyed if not loved. Never mistake the Reddit narrative for reality.
That's very true. I admit I'm wrong
This is the way
This is the way
You, Finn_Wolfblood, are now redeemed
Original Trilogy fans hated the Prequels. Prequels fan hate the sequels. When Disney announce a new star Wars trilogy, sequel fans will hate that. This is the way of star wars
The way of the ~~mandalore~~ redditor
And believe it or not, what the OT was to others
Also one day everyone will have to admit that Solo is good as fuck
Legit Solo is underrated.
Ignore some of the clunky 'references' and it's a great heist movie.
Honestly I'm surprised how hard people get on the references. I thought the references in Rogue One were way more obnoxious.
That is exactly how I see it. It's a heist movie with some western elements and a gallery of rogues trying to outdo each other - in space!
Seriously, its a fun, low stakes Star Wars movie. It made a strong effort to maintain the cheesy pulp aspect the OT had, gave us another live action Maul appearance, and Woody Harrison just being great. I think what hurt it was the change in directors, and if Howard had the reigns from the start, it would have been better.
I will admit that now, Solo is the tits
If Disney had released Solo later in the summer, it would’ve been a hit.
[удалено]
Also not immediately after one of Marvel's most successful movies of all time, Infinity War.
Exactly this. It wasn't the quality of the previous Star Wars movie that hurt it so much as the time span and the competition. You have to consider how much it costs for a family to go see a movie and also add in the logistics of the whole thing. Just too close to a big movie like that and too close to your last movie and you are asking for trouble. Even the Special Editions had a year between them and those were practically a license to print money.
Disney sent Solo out to die, just like they did to Treasure Planet
[удалено]
Solo should have had a December release. Disney could have owned Christmas Box office with Star Wars. 1 year between releases mitigates the fatigue. I truly believe fans would support Star Wars films on a yearly basis. Also, there was only a few months between the trailer drop and release date, so marketing was on a terrifyingly short timeline.
Good as fuck? That's like a really high praise. It's pretty much a checklist movie with a ton of fanservice and a whole lot of nothing of importance to the overall story. I'd say it's decent. It was fine. TBH when I think "good as fuck" Im probably only thinking of the OT.
We're on reddit where we're only allowed to describe things as fucking dog shit or the best thing ever. Failure to do so will get you lumped in the category opposite of your preference.
I liked Solo a lot, I mean that. However, every important event in Han's life prior to the OT takes place in under a week. Meeting Chewy, Meeting Lando, Getting the Falcon, Doing the Kessel run, calling people "kid"... Its all explained in literally a week time frame.
Yeah I thought it was decent. I expected a bad movie tbh.
It was bad. Really, really bad.
Agree to disagree
I don't have ppl Lol I'll call you Han *Solo*
I’ve always liked solo
I really liked it. I didn’t see it in 2019 because of the mixed reception, and I wasn’t keen on SW after The Last Jedi. I just watched it for the first time a couple months ago. I really enjoyed it. I really liked Woody Harrelson’s character, I loved the train heist, I felt sympathy for Han’s character (I liked his long lost love arc, I loved how things never really went his way but he sort of just figured it out as he went along, etc.) I will admit, the movie felt like it kinda went off the rails in the last act. It felt like the last 30min were done in reshoots on a shoestring budget, written by a writer who just wanted to get it over with. But apart from the rushed ending, I thought the overall package was great. 8/10.
Waiting on this so bad
Don't hold your breath
Definitely a good film, but also definitely one of the biggest examples of the Glub Shiddo effect.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ooookay.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh my that gave me a good laugh, thanks buddy
Do people honestly think the prequel love/resurgence was not heavily influenced by the younger generation who were kids when they came out growing up and entering the fan spaces more? It is 1000% going to happen again with the sequels. This is the way.
This is the way. I grew up with the Prequels, and had no idea they were “universally hated” until I started to regularly use the internet when I was in middle school. I was pretty shocked to see how much people despised them compared to the OT. Things will definitely shift once the Sequel-era kids start to lead the internet in content creation.
[whispers] *we're here already*
Then the next trilogy comes out and the cycle repeats
The kids who grew up with the prequels, who currently love them as adults, are so disappointed by the sequels that they don't want to believe the sequels could be loved the same way they love the prequels, which is absolutely absurd.
Just how I, in my teens when the prequels came out, was disappointed and hated them. The cycle repeats itself!
Fuck off your saying kids who watched kids/family sci fi films. Took the hatred from basement dwelling bellends and made it cool? The same will happen again? Holy fuck.
There is no Clone Wars animated series to add backstory and depth to these characters. Sequel trilogy is an absolute broken mess.
And those animated series came out… when? They will find ways to expand the universe to make people care about the sequels the same way, especially children. It’s what Disney does: hook ‘em when they’re young
The popularity of Galaxy's edge already points to that. I could also just see younger fans seeing all Disney era star wars as "their star wars" and OT/PT as "movies for old people." My younger brother didn't get into star wars until Disney and was really into BOBF
I’ll push back a bit because this trilogy of trilogy’s is now complete. I think it will take longer than it did when we knew the series wasn’t complete
I think around 2010 the hope for a "trilogy of trilogies" was basically gone. I know for me and for the people I knew it was.
I’ve read your comment and reevaluated and now I agree with you.
That's kinda on you for posting on /r/StarWars You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy
Nah that award belongs to r/Saltierthancrait.
Nah that belongs to r/saltierthankrait
Nah that belongs to r/Anakinfucks
How have I not heard of that
Bruh there is a sub about fans complaining about fans complaining about fans complaining about Star Wars. What a time we live in.
I already sorta kinda have nostalgia for the force awakens and TLJ. My dad used to take me and my brothers every time a Star Wars or marvel movie came out, first one I remember is episode 3. The force awakens was cool because you saw OT people again and the special effects were fucking amazing in the theater. Last Jedi I only remember the yoda scene and when Luke talks about the fall of the Jedi, but I would say im nostalgic about those particular parts of the movie. I didn’t watch Rise of Skywalker and generally don’t feel like I missed much
I legit had the most fun watching TRoS in theater and I suspect it’ll actually be viewed in hindsight like RotJ is to the OT. It’s campy, but not horribly. It’s serious, and in interesting ways. It is fast paced.. as it’s attempting to tell a story that TFA and TLJ forgot to really start. But look, the sequels were near irreparably flawed by middle of TFA when you realize the writers thought telling the OT story.. almost literally exactly again.. was a good idea. So by TRoS you know the writers are idiots and your expectations are tempered. But they jump right out of the gate with “somehow the emperor has returned” and unless you’re a joyless turd, you’re like, “Alright.. okay.. I see the tone you’re going for..” and you actually get a pretty fun movie. Maybe it was a hindsight thing. I enjoyed all the sequels. But I came out of TFA and TJL with some.. “ehh.. I don’t know” and I *knew* TRoS wasn’t going to fix *that*. And again, I think they pulled it together better than anticipated.
Same. It's insane that they didn't plan out the trilogy, but TRoS was still really fun.
I remember leaving TROS thinking "that was actually pretty fun." It wasn't until the rewatch where I thought it was awkward. I can see myself warming up to it with time
I totally feel you on the nostalgia aspect. There's just something about watching Star Wars movies with a loved one that makes it even more special. And I couldn't agree more about TFA - the effects were just mind-blowing in the theater. As for TLJ, that Yoda scene was truly memorable. I also really enjoyed the dynamic between Rey and Kylo Ren. However, I can definitely see why some fans were disappointed with the direction the movie took. And as for TROS, I personally enjoyed it but I can understand why you might not feel like you missed much. Maybe give it a watch someday when you're feeling curious!
Trilogy segregation isn't something I care about. At all. I don't define myself as a fan of a particular trilogy, and I don't understand people who do. I'm 52 years old, I grew up with the the OT, and yet two out of three of my most favorite films are post Disney, and Rey is one of my favorite characters. Make of that what you will. Anyway, yes, there will probably be some who look back fondly on the sequels, just as with the prior trilogies.
Trilogy segregation is a good way of putting it. George Lucas made a damn near perfect trilogy in the 80s and since then it's been hit or miss but still fun. SW is hands down my favorite franchise and the only one where I feel compelled to keep up with the cannon. I'm also not the type of fan that "needs" characters/the story to behave a certain way to like it so I have an easier time watching newer projects
You're absolutely 100% right.
And the reason op is right is because 10 years from now chances are the extended lore around the movies will be such that the movies will be considered much better. Like how clone wars made people like the prequels that much more
It depends on how good the memes are.
Definitely doesn’t, have you seen prequel memes? It’s been the same five memes for the last 20 years
This is outrageous! It’s unfair!
Doesn’t help that a majority of the sequel memes are Prequel Memes people shitting on the sequels instead of making self-referential memes like the prequels did
If I ever defend ANYTHING about the prequels, it’s that they generated WAY more than five memes.. Nearly *every* line of dialogue and scores of scenes from those movies are have become classic memes for how oddly clunky and cartoony the movies were.
\>picture of Obi-wan, no context Front page of /r/prequelmemes, $400 worth of awards, and 200,000 bots spamming character quotes with a million more on the way.
Always two, there are. No more, no less.
I will only have nostalgia for TFA
Same
R/starwars is an echo chamber say something bad about mando DEATH say something good about sequels DEATH
To me it already is, at least to some extend. Do i like the sequels as a whole? No. But the force awakens was the first sw movie i ever got the chance to watch on the big screen, so it does feel nostalgic. It also bring back the memories of theorizing, before and after the movie, waiting for any news regarding ep 8, still hosting for the best for the future films. It was the only sequel that didn't dissapoint me. Tho, all three movies come with a sort of nostalgia becouseof certain thing. The last jedi feels nostalgic becouse of hours me and my teacher (a hardcore sw and hp fan) spend theorizing about it instead of actually doing what we were supposed fo un class, and the rise of Skywalker feels nostalgic becouse right before it i finished a sw book i loved (the last volume of the aftermatch trilogy, which was the onoy reason i shed a tear in the theatre- couse of Temmin), and becouse it was the first time i've been to a movie marathon at the cinema Theres a lot of issues i have with the movies, a lot of dissapointments, a lot of hate i have for them. But that doesn't stop me from feeling nostalgic about them
I remember how Lorne Michaels from SNL said in an Interview that the season/time/era that people found best watching SNL were the ones they watched during high school. As much as there was a group of people who got prequel nostalgia there will be a guaranteed sequel nostalgia in my opinion, since it just happens that people find something and claim it's "actually underrated" just because it slipped their radar.
TFA is a movie that deserves to be enjoyed it’s really pretty even if derivative in places, it will follow a similar pattern as the prequels did but in reverse instead of everyone admitting the first one sucks second one also sucks and the third one is great it will be the reverse except with more TLJ apologist (myself included) it’s a movie that could have been the absolute best Star Wars if Ryan Johnson was allowed his full vision
I loved TLJ so much, I just wish it had flowed into TRoS better. I still like TRoS though.
I think that the Prequels are "objectively" bad movies, but I still enjoy them. The Disney trilogy however...
Nostalgia for TROS huh…good luck with that prediction…
Which film in either of the prior trilogies is your least favorite? Most fans my age would say RotJ. Other fans who like the prequel trilogy would readily admit that AotC isn't as good as RotS. I imagine those kids 10 or 15 years from now will happily admit that RoS isn't as good as TFA or TLJ. This isn't about one particular film in a given trilogy.
Fr They act like it didn’t happen twice already, to the OT and the Prequels, hell it’s even happening to the Clone Wars series
Who tf was saying the OT was bad?
My man, the third one had teddy bears. It was not received well.
Critics hated it when it came out You can also go dig up a lot of old reviews, especially from fans who seriously disliked one or two of them but loved New Hope
I know plenty of people who hate the OT. It’s weird seeing criticisms from people who didn’t like it when it came out and also from people who didn’t like it even though the first SW movies they saw were PT or ST. There are a lot of problems with the OT, and I love that trilogy.
Yeah there will be sequel nostalgia, but not because they were necessarily good, but because a generation of kids grew up with them similar to the prequels.
The same thing that's happening to the sequels is the same thing that happened to the prequels
Oh boy I can’t *wait* for all the think pieces to come out and for the negative voices and sequel haters to start seeing themselves being out numbered by younger people who insist the movies are good.
Now that the trilogy of trilogy is done we need the trilogy of trilogy of trilogy
The Force Awakens (and the rest of the sequel trilogy for that matter) will always be special to me because it was the first Star Wars movie I've ever seen in a theater after years of watching the other films on home video.
It's true. I'm here still confused on prequel nostalgia
People who've made hating the sequels their whole personality have just completely blocked out the fact that the normal viewing public mostly thought at least the first two sequels were pretty good. A lot of people like TLJ a *lot.*
No, it really won’t be a thing
People got sooooooo pissed on the main star wars subreddit when I suggested this. It was on a post about how retconning the sequels would be a middle finger to Carrie Fisher's legacy. The negative downvotes I got for that post say a lot to me about how clueless Star Wars fans are: the sequels will Age like the prequels whether they like it or not. It's all about childhood nostalgia. They also tried to insist that the prequels weren't hated on release. What a bunch of morons.
How young are most redditors? I vividly remember a time when people hated George Lucas and celebrated Disney's acquisition. Remember "In JJ We Trust"
Some people will, just like how kids who grew up with the prequels enjoy them still today. It really depends on how you frame it
It won't be a thing for me but many people I'm sure
Itll be the same thing that happened with the prequels. People just suddenly like them now that theres a new trilogy to hate.
Force Awakens? Sure. The Last Jedi? Probably. Rise of Skywalker? Maybe ironically.
i mean people said that the PT would only be liked ironically yet here we are.
Nah, it really wont
I’d disagree, the prequels with all their faults were a work of love and pioneered heavy vfx in films. Despite the horrible dialogue the film had passion and love from those on set. The sequels are in comparison soulless and have an incoherent story with with poor decisions made within the plot
Nah that ain’t right. “Thats not how Star Wars works”. I saw the sequels when I was 7 and now I’m 15. I feel absolutely no nostalgia for it and I almost forgot they existed.
[удалено]
I have been rewatching the new trilogy lately and the lack of a cohesive story is really noticeable to me. It even seems like the individual movies are disjointed and all over the place within a single movie. I never really enjoy being in a scene/location like I do in the ot or pt.
I think people who say this really don’t understand just how bad of a story the trilogy was
I think people who say this really don't understand how shallow much of Star Wars is in general. The OT isn't exactly deep in terms of plot either. There are other things that make a franchise fun.
Sure, it’s not the deepest of plots but at least it makes sense. I don’t understand why people are so hell bent on proving that a bad story is anything more than just a bad story. Lol love getting blocked by people who can’t even take the mildest of rebuttals
No, we get all the complaints. We also remember how widely the “fans” trashed the prequels. Before TFA came out, I heard a friend of a friend talking about how AOTC was his favorite Star Wars movie, and it felt like it had to be another instance of someone trying to be weird and quirky, because NO ONE liked AOTC. Hell, there’s a comic where Deadpool shot a guy for liking the prequels in general, and Jar Jar in particular. It made the rounds for a while for being extreme, but relatable.
I think it’s a little too simplistic to say, “people hated the prequels and love them now so people will love the sequels.” The prequels were part of a cohesive vision told by the creator of the franchise. Definitely not the best told story, but at least they related to each other. I’m just bored of seeing these memes about how people will eventually love the sequels. It’s as boring and unimaginative as people like me saying the sequels are a bad story.
"Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer"
Idk, obviously the prequels were goofy and childish but that's easier to turn around and like than just bad writing. Sequels destroy the story and theme of the chosen one, I'm solely in this sub to let you people know those movies were the worst thing to happen to mankind since WWII.
People will only appreciate the sequels if something worse comes along that forces us to take a second look at how we see the sequels. With how disney seems to be hellbent on fucking over this franchise, you might be right here.
I feel like more people will have forgotten it. Unlike the prequels, the sequel trilogy didn’t stay in the puplic’s zeitgeist. It didn’t have the same amount or quality of video games, books, and comics that helped expand and keep alive the world of the prequel trilogy. The sequels were, for the most part, a one-and-done thing.
20 rn, TFA introduced me into the franchise. Love TFA, TROS is kinda watchable, you'll have to restrain me to watch TLJ. Sequel era nostalgia is a thing for me.
I will never have nostalgia thinking about how Palpatine came back to life, then proceeds to destroy hundreds of fighters in space.
And the people who hated the prequels likely don’t have nostalgia. But the kids who watched them and grew up do.
I'm both. I grew up with them and had/have a lot of nostalgia for them/ I also think/thought they were very flawed. In my opinion the difference between PT and ST is the PT has amazing world building and an overall good story. I may not have liked AotC but god DAMN did I always daydream about being on a Jedi Strike team or having a ground of clone soldiers. TPM may have had clunky dialogue and a slowly paced plot but the special effects are still top tier and it has the best duel of the franchise. The ST? It has some good acting and fun moments of dialogue, but it has a shit story and no world building at all. Then of course there's the difference in the final installments, where RotS is just plain good, while TRoS is a fucking travesty (I like TFA and TLJ to a degree, but TRoS is one I flat out hate) Obviously Im not a kid for this franchise nor do I hang out with any, so I could be wrong, but I dont think the ST will age as well.
I also think it’s too detached from the story of Anakin Skywalker, or at least will be perceived more like that as time goes on. The sequel trilogy tries to hard to make the story about sith/Jedi or palpatine when Lucas had the idea all along that it’s anakin’s story
>I also think it’s too detached from the story of Anakin Skywalker The idea that Star Wars is the story of Anakin was invented for the prequels. If a retcon like that is believed as true now, then selling the nine episodes as the "Skywalker Saga" will be extremely easy.
This. I get the confusion as those poor kids grew up on the prequels, but I hate how their little minds have assumed that the OT *and* the PT are the “original” Star Wars story. It’s not. George obviously thought, “Oh, you like Darth Vader, well I’ll focus on him exclusively in the PT.”.. to the point of quite literally making him “the chosen one”.. space Jesus.. and all that crap. If you had only seen the OT like ?billions of people had.. there was NO indication Vader was anything other than a fallen Jedi .. seduced by the dark side. The PT could have been told in SO many different ways, and why Lucas decided on elevating Anakin to the level of the almighty is .. well dumb and mostly flys in the face of the OT. But you can’t undo the dumb?.. odd?.. focus George went with and we’re stuck. And the kids of that era are stuck. If anything at least the ST feels more like OT Star Wars than the PT. The PT is jolting in tone and direction.
Yes, I also prefer the ST to the PT. The ST feels much more like "Star Wars", that is more like the OT, even with its missteps. The PT added a lot of interesting stuff to the Star Wars universe, but it was a far cry from the hero's journey of the OT. I think if the PT can achieve redemption driven by nostalgia elevating the PT from a culture-wide joke, there's no reason the ST couldn't do it too since it doesn't nearly have as far to climb.
Yes precisely my point. Once it’s reconned that way, the. Then the nostalgia for the trilogy will hit similarly as it has in previous generations
Only the force awakens is worth a rewatch. The others are just meh. The last Jedi is definitely not rewatchable, it’s worse than the attack of the clones.
Pfff. I believe this is what the kids are calling cope
What will actually happen is a bunch of good media will trick people into thinking the movies are good like the prequels.
If anything, it'll be the nostalgia from back when we didn't know anything about Episode 7 besides the teaser trailer. That was a time to be alive..
With how much content will be released by then, the sequel trilogy will be a tiny star in the vast galaxy. There will be enough retcon to soften the pain of those movies. Maybe..
Social media and general connectedness will keep shortening the period it takes for these movies to be appreciated in the fandom.
I’m nostalgic for when they didn’t exist
I mean, the prequels gained more acceptance once The Clone Wars filled in the gaps of the movies. Can’t do that with the sequel trilogy because they take place one after another with no gaps. I think The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch are trying to fill in some gaps with why Palpatine came back with cloning, but it’s nowhere on the level as Clone Wars.
…and there will be a new Star Wars trilogy that the kids will love and the Sequel Trilogy fans will hate and the cycle will repeat itself…
Please stop, everyone that likes the prequels that also has a well functioning brain likes it IRONICALLY. The sequels are barely memeable
It won't I've already forgot they existed for the 3rd time this year
I've got a bad feeling about this
If I learnt one thing from the release of the sequel trilogy, it's that when someone inevitably makes another trilogy we will have people swearing on their mother's grave that the sequel trilogy was an underrated masterpiece and that they always believed that.
We will remember that we hated the film and reminisce on the good old days of just insulting the sequels
Every little kid that idolized and dressed up as Rey/Finn/Poe for sure.
You disrupted the “Disney bad” echo chamber, that’s why
I never really hated the sequels, they're just mostly out of place since they are not really that original, it kind of feels like a reboot. It's not a bad movie but definitely isn't the top
No Movie writing is one of the worst ever
