@judgedread Tangentially related: I saw Phantom Menace in the theaters. Technically, the day before Opening Day as a local theater skirted the rules a tad and ran a midnight showing. We waited in line several hours. Big crowd of nerds, all excited, talking, laughing, making light-saber sounds. One could say that morale was high.

When we left the theater, after the movie, no one was talking. Granted, it was after 2AM, but the thrill of the wait died that night. No smiles, no loud ribaldry. The audience behaved in that manner reserved for... contemplation. Largely, "What just happened?"

I didn't see the second Prequel in a theater, as I knew the franchise was already dead. It was on HBO one night, and I watched it. Confirmed bad.

The third one didn't even get that much attention. I turned it on and did something else. Couldn't hold my attention. I only mostly know what the story was, and I'm not certain how it ended.

Those were all better than everything made by Disney.

The worst thing about the Prequels can be summed up: they were boring.

The Disneywars franchise hates White Men and wants us to know it. They Director and cast of whatever the first one was named came right out and announced that The Empire was straight White Men and the Rebellion was Vibrant Diversity, and "We don't actually care if any White Men watch these movies at all."

I, personally, hope that the entire cast, the crew, and most importantly every member of the production company, are all burned alive.
