The ST is worse then any of the prequels, GL actually believed in his product, was trying to tell a story, and was going somewhere with a plot. It is a case of a good story told poorly but there is a lot of good stuff in the PT.

Ehhh

Attack of the Clones is still the worst movie in the franchise. Only good parts are Obi-Wan hunting Jango and that's only like 25 minutes of the runtime.

i'm not sure if that qualifies as a hot take at this point

This.

I haven't actually seen it because everybody I know that has told me not to on the basis that it's even worse than the prequels.

Palpatines own force lightning killed him not Rey.

I think it's highly unfortunate that people still hate on the prequels. Obviously they have done far more for the saga than the ST.

pretty sure thats not what anybody is mad about lmao. how about the complete lack of direction this entire sequel trilogy has had; its an unplanned mess that didnt tell a good story or add much of anything interesting to the lore.

I had more nitpicks with 9 than with any individual prequel but 9 was at least competent from a structure standpoint, which automatically makes it better than 1 and 2.

Rise of the Skywalker retroactively made me somewhat appreciate The Last Jedi.

At least TLJ, despite absolutely terrible writing, pacing and characters, was unpredictable and interesting.

RoS was the single most eye-rollingly predictable movie in the entire nine-movie lineup, and suffered greatly from not trying harder to be its own movie instead of a deliberate fanservice film.

i have that problem with both force awakens and rise, tho rise is definitely the worse offender. the last jedi is a silly fuckin movie but at least it does stand out

Agree with this
TROS sucked ass that it made me appreciate the prequels more. Movie shitted on vaders redemption, movie had like no roa mao and just thought palpatine was the only way to save it, Snokes backstory, ReyLo, force bring back the dead, never explained how palpatine survived, LOL THEY FLY NOW?, Kylo Ren still being a joke, etc. The list goes on.

There are so many things wrong with TLJ, I don't even know where to start.

But at least TLJ provokes discussion. RoS wraps up everything precisely and perfectly. There's literally nothing left to say. No interpretation to be made. No weird decision to criticize. It's a McDonalds-level engineered conclusion.

Frankly, the last straw for me was Kylo dying at the end. Stupid, unnecessary, and more insultingly, they share a kiss despite having literally ten minutes of total contact with each other up to that point, and absolutely zero reason to have any romantic interest.

And despite being so illogical, it was also exactly what everyone predicted would happen. Making it insulting in several ways.

Yes, the prequels gave us midichlorians, Jar Jar Binks and fascinating ruminations on the nature of sand.

I never bothered with The Last Jedi or Rise Of Skywalker lol
