The prequels get just the right amount of hate.I'll give it a watch.
The prequels get wayyyy too much hate.
Once the sequel trilogy wraps up, we'll all look back on the prequels much more fondly.

Well the sequel trilogy has managed to atleast make one good movie, which is more than the whole of the prequels.
I love the prequels, but the romance stuff in the final two films are awful.

That's a bit harsh, wouldn't you say?
I think you could possibly cut all three prequels back to back into one decent 2+ hour movie.
Topher Grace (yep, the dude from That 70s Show) did exactly that actually:That's a bit harsh, wouldn't you say?

These aren't good movies, and it must be sad for people who really like them to keep hearing from people who hate them how bad they are. But I seriously hope this trailer is a joke or some kind of metacommentary. If not, this takes fanxiety to heretofore unknown levels.
The worst part about the prequels is that they were entirely unnecessary.
I honestly agree, but I'm sure it's partially because I was the youngest when that one came out and got some nostalgia for it.TPM is the best of the three.

Because of the video games the prequel movies spawned, I simply can't bring myself to hate them. Jedi power battles, jedi starfighter, Battlefront II, and, to an extent, KOTOR(which is better than any of the star wars movies at all) is all good stuff. Even the revenge of the sith game was pretty fun. Even the edutainment shit like that naboo ecology sim was good.
On the other hand the new star wars games are being handled by EA, so....

Will watch RLM afterwards to cleanse my palate though.
I dunno, this alone kinda brings them back to zero for me.
Did you like Battle For Naboo?
That's a bit harsh, wouldn't you say?

I think if there's any sort of growing fondness for it, it won't be because of the new movies as much as people that grew up with the Prequels all being adults and entering the conversation. I mean a decent amount of them already are, but even more so over the next few years.
But I don't understand people who think the Ring Theory somehow makes the prequels brilliant.
I can't think of a single enjoyable scene between characters that doesn't involve Ian McDiarmid hamming it up. I genuinely can't. Or, y'know what? I like Space Detective Obi-Wan, but like... compared to the rest of AotC, that's not hard.
Its not harsh at all.
Believe me I've watched many fan edits of the prequels and it's not possible to make a decent movie out of them.
It's not like the Hobbit where you can cut all the pointless filler and still have a lot of decent stuff to work with.
Once you cut all the filler of the prequels you discover that there so much editing can do when the basic story is a mess and the actors clearly have no direction.
It doesn't, but people who like the prequels take whatever they can get to try and defend that mess of a series of films.

I was trying to make a joke, but sadly you two are right. I could cut the prequels together into a feature length sequence of interesting and cool looking scenes but there wouldn't be sufficient character interaction to call it a movie.
But how do you explain the people who hated the prequels but are still trying to find ways to redeem them? The guys at Collider hated the prequels, but seem intent on trying to find meaning in them because they happened to like Force Awakens and Rebels. It's a real head scratcher.
Good is a bit of a stretch even if it was better than the prequels.Well the sequel trilogy has managed to atleast make one good movie, which is more than the whole of the prequels.

Here's a genuine question. Will there ever be a softening to the prequels similar to how Batman fans have begun to warm to the Adam West series? Nobody respected Adam West Batman when the Keaton films came out, but now Adam West and Julie Newmar are treated as goodwill ambassadors of the franchise. On the otherhand, alot of the people who never liked Star Trek the Motion Picture or Star Trek the Final Frontier back then still don't like them today, so time doesn't necessarily heal all wounds in the pop culture fanosphere.
