I'm very familiar with RLM. It's a good critique. I still think it's fairly accurate, but played way up for comedic value and virality . They are entertaining movies that fill in lore without fucking everything else up.

The best of the sequels can't even be in the same continuity because of the change to hyperspace. The new canon was fucked up 15 minutes into the first god damned movie. Now I can enjoy the first two for what they are, but they aren't part of any actual story, and the movie that ties them together is a garbage movie even if it weren't Star Wars.

I mean maybe the future will prove me wrong, but I'd bet good money no one will give a positive fuck in 10 years.

the prequals introduced midiclorians and was hated for introducing it.

I am not commenting on the quality of any of the movies. Just the inevitability that people will get nostalgic about them in the future and defend them.

Midichlorians, you mean that one throwaway line that was mostly used as plot filler? That thing that people obsessed over for decades despite being less than a thousandth of a percent of the overall franchise?
