So far the Sequels are more competently made movies by most metrics.

But they lack the sense of world building and wonder that the prequels had. Sure they were full of bad plotting, awful dialog, wooden performances, and overused CGI. But they had a fully-formed identity. The execution was sub-par but the underlying bones of the movies were solid. Which is probably why a bunch of better content sprouted off of that era.

The Sequels so far just don't have that same feeling. They are OT 2. And at least a part of that has to do with the minimal world building that has taken place. I mean you have to read a bunch of extra material just to figure out why the new Republic isn't fighting the First Order itself and instead a resistance force has to do it

That's kinda how I feel. Episode 1 and 2 were crappy movies, but they had a ton of cool concepts and great world building. And it gave birth to really awesome side stuff that expanded on those concepts.

The sequel trilogy has really nothing interesting going on with it. Kylo Ren is the only cool thing imo. First Order and Starkiller is literally just Empire 2.0 and Death Star 3.0 which we've seen for 3 movies beforehand. The casino planet is boring as shit, the red salt/snow planet is okay but they don't do much with it, and Luke only does 1 cool thing so far and it just turns out to be a hologram which kills him. What the actual fuck.

I'm just not interested in the world at all in the sequels >_> At least the prequel kinda had me more interested in them even though they were bad lol

I feel like this is the popular opinion... Never met anyone who liked 8. I know rebel pretends to but I think that's it. Just you and him.

it's because they have done absolutely no world-building whatsoever for the new sequels. it's just trite, vaguely sci-fi feeling adventure movies with some recognizable Star Wars assets thrown in (lightsabers, X-Wings, The Force, etc).

even though they were incredibly flawed in a lot of ways, what the prequel trilogy did right was create this sense of scale of the universe, that it's a truly intergalactic conflict, and a constant sense that the universe is bigger than is being presented. you always feel like there are a lot of things the viewer does not get to see. that's what makes star wars so appealing for 40 years, that you can fantasize about the SW universe, and the movies leave a place for that.

for the new ones there's no sense of scale, no world building, nothing is bigger than is presented in the movie. i don't think i can name a single new species or a single new planet besides canto bight, and dont get me started on canto bight lol.

then the new Stories movies go even further to further tear down the "mystery" of the franchise. did we need to have the Kessel Run explained to us or learn how the Death Star plans got to the Rebels? Ugh

I don't really have a problem with the prequels anymore. The dialogue and some of the acting is cringe, some of the CGI hasn't aged well, Jar Jar, Anakin, etc. But to me they're still vastly more interesting additions to Star Wars cannon than 7 and 8. TFA really wasn't bad, I was feeling pretty positive after it came out. But it set a lot of interesting things up that TLJ just knocked down and peed on. Both well made movies, but the plot and story direction in TLJ was so bad it actually brings down TFA along with it. If TFA isn't setting up an interesting trilogy then the criticisms against it become more valid and damning. The prequels failed at a lot of things, but they're more interesting and worthy additions than the sequel trilogy so far.

I think the Star Wars Stories movies have done a better job of maintaining a Star Wars feel and sense of world than the sequels. In fact I particularly like how Rogue One really does offer insight into the inner-workings of the Rebellion that even the OT didn't quite provide.

I agree the Solo probably wasn't a movie we "needed" and frankly that is my biggest criticism of it. But the movie itself definitely felt Star Wars and helped expand the Empire run world outside of the context of people actively fighting it. It also gave us a look into the criminal side of the galaxy outside of a Hutt cartel.

sorry, i dont think any of the new planets are memorable. there's Not-Tatooine that Rey grows up on, Not-Hoth that the rebels escape to, and Not-Mos Eisley that Rey's group goes to in the first movie. What else am I missing?

The Prequels came out at the time of my life when I was the most into Star Wars. That alone is enough to make me prefer them over the Sequels. And even though as I got older I started to understand some of the issues with the films, I never stopped liking them.

The Sequels just haven't done anything to draw me in yet.

I feel like it's the complete opposite. The prequels were a toy advert, a bad political and war film and a kind of Star Warsy young adult adventure.

Whilst I don't think they're perfect, the two new sequels feel a lot more aligned in terms of tone, plot, characters etc to the OT.
