    The prequels were just as hated as the sequels are right now, but then gen z grew up and the nostalgia for those movies suddenly made them okay in the public awareness.

      No they weren’t. There were cool bits people loved. Instant classic scenes people liked immediately. I watched Episode 7 but I remember nothing, then never watched any of the later ones. I did like Rogue One

      Episode 1: Pod racing is cool.
      Darth Maul’s double light saber and a cool duel with cool music.

      Episode 2:

      Chase scene, factory scene, pretty cool.
      Full scale war with the clones.
      Yoda fighting! Theater blew up on this one!

      Episode 3:

      Battle scene in the opening
      Betrayal scenes: “unlimited power!”, Order 66, marching clones, killing the youngling Fighting on lava, and Anakin seething with rage!

        I did like Rogue One

        Surprisingly, a good movie. I’d say, same quality as Mandalorian to me. Just plain good media. Not super epic, or extremely engaging. Just a good movie. But somehow is not popular enough and I remember hardcore fans not liking it either. No idea what exactly is so bad about it compared to The Last Jedi.
