That's fair. The true rank of TFA will depend on the quality of the narrative it set up though, so we'll have to wait till episode 8 at least for final judgment
>le prequels were bad meme
hello reddit welcome to 4chan!

We will never be truly able to rank TFA till a month later or a Dvd release, when the dust is really settled

The more you learn about George Lucas the less you will want to worship him.
I remember when people were saying TFA was great.
The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.
As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".
I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:
1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"
Episode 7 isn't even a Star Wars movies. It is a Marvel flick masquerading as one.
>tfw you started the 'Prequels are good' meme and redditors are starting to believe it
>>64054390
they weren't bad just didnt live up to its predecessors
>>64054388
This irrational hate on Lucas is bordering on Sandler tier already.

>prequel hate is not a meme irl
Hello reddit!

One of the truly frustrating things about TFA is that because it's a modern franchise film it's built like a TV show pilot where it introduces a bunch of characters, sets up some plot points and then leaves a million things open and unanswered to be picked up in the next movie and so on. So we have no idea at this point what missing elements are plot holes or just shitty writing, what are actually clever hidden gems to be unveiled later, what characters are purposefully underused to get used more later, etc...
While normally you can't excuse a film of leaving shit out or confusing audiences because "oh it will be explained in the next one!" This is kind of what modern franchise films are, big TV shows that put out a new episode every year or two.

It's not irrational, and on my part it's not hatred. The more you read about him, the more you know about the behind the scenes workings of all of the star wars films the less and less noble and inventive he seems. It's not RLM "omg he's a money loving hack who just makes toy commercials"

We've had 10-15 years to come to terms with how bad the prequels are. You'd think that if they were truly hidden gems of greatness you would have seen a public opinion reversal on them by now.

I could probably only sit through the third one again. Even though that stupid-ass fight at the end is stupid-ass.
