I also loved R1. Jyn is probably my favorite of all the new SW characters... Which is ironic, since she exists in a pre-old SW time line.
I`ll take the pre-old SW time line over this current one every day of the week.

Correction. It ended in 1980.Same here, which is why as far as I'm concerned, Star Wars ended in 1983. Everything that has come since is fanfic.
The prequels were bad but I always accepted them as being star wars. TFA renewed my hope that star wars can continue on. TLJ absolutely broke my heart. For me, it ended December 2017.

Agreed. There are only two Star Wars films.

George may not have been at the top of his game at the time but the PT were legit stories and for me were far from saga killers. Had he not been so invested in the digital age at that time they would probably be held in much higher regard. The guy is a visionary but sometimes they get clouded vision, as a fan I can live with that.
The saga should have "died" with ROTS but Darth Mouseious did a Mary Shelley to it and now we have this soul less trilogy wreaking havoc among the villagers.
Not a prequel fan. But not a prequel hater, either. I just don't consider them Star Wars. They're something else. And I will say this...they sure look better now that these latest three abominations have been made.

:eek Who would have thought years down the road that ANY thing could make those look better! :eek
There's always someone with a lower SWIQ.
How would you rate Ruin Johnsons SWIQ?
His SWIQ is so low it could milk a pregnant snake.
I confess to being a prequel hater for a long time, but upon seeing clunker after clunker (of all varieties of movies), that left me wanting to feel anything, it struck me just a few years ago that the prequels, for all their flaws, at least always got me thinking and discussing. They were substantive, even if that substance wasn't always perfect in its execution. When I think about TPM, sure there's Jar Jar and midichlorians, but I also conjure up visions of Darth Maul, his Sith Infiltrator (not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it), Droidekas (a masterful piece of engineering, IMO), and the pod racing sequence isn't exactly terrible if you ignore the silliness that weaves its way into those scenes. And holy crap did Liam Neeson come to play. There's a plethora of cool, original stuff in the prequels. You just have to want to see them; and for a long time I didn't want to.
So for me, if you cut 20 minutes or so of fat in terms of the eye-rolling stuff (different for everyone, I realize), and tighten up some of the "who in the hell talks like that" dialogue, you have some excellent movies. So, really, if Lucas' worst crime is being overly ambitious and giving us too much instead of too little, how can I begrudge him that, in the face of what we're seeing in theaters today.
