I think the prequels are worse because they so completely and utterly fucked up the backstory of everyone and were mostly just a way to sell toys

Content from the prequel era is being mowing made to this day. Meanwhile the sequel era is all but dead for the most part.

That should tell you everything you need to know about just how bad it was. Hell it killed any potential for OG era storys even just to add salt.

I refuse to believe that anyone in Current Year who responds to a deliberately-hyperbolic comparison with a stock 'almost like' comeback didn't have ChatGPT write it for them.
Because even hyperbolically, it doesn't work.

"Do you like food that has finished cooking, or food that hasn't finished cooking?"

"Well, when cancer "finishes," you fucking die, so I think we can all come to the same conclusion."

Now, I know I said the PT was worse, but I do have to give credit where it's due:

The worst character in the entire series of nine main films plus Solo and Rogue One is, without question, Episode 9 C3P0.

I don't know how it happened--this has never happened to me before or since--but I legit got to a point with this fictional character that my irritation/disgust actually became physical and that flare of rage deep in the pit of my stomach started coming up.

Responding to a comparison that you feel is half-baked with a comparison of your own that doesn't even come within ten feet of the oven is not the argumentative masterstroke you think it is.

You mean like:

The Mandalorian
Book of Boba Fett
Ahsoka
The upcoming Thrawn movie
The upcoming Rey movie
Or even Bad Barch tying directly into IX

Yeah. Such an absence of OG/Sequel era content

The Force Awakens was such a disappointment. A lot of folks wanted more Star Wars and what we got was mostly fan service rehashing of old plots and characters. It only went down hill from there.

I only like the prequel trilogy better due to RotS.

No, it was the right call for sure. Prequel backlash was, at the time, roughly what sequel backlash is now.

The majority of these are more so prequel era content tbh. Following and coattail riding off its success, nostalgia, plot lines, characters and extending upon both them and the lore of their respective era. Ashoka and Thrawn especially.

Compare this to the OG where none of the above is being done. And the sequel era? lol.

We could have had a long running series similar to the legends books by now but the sequel trilogy literally undermined all of it. To the point that anything involving Luke, leia and Han is an utter waste of time.

Yes, they have.

It just didn't work. That's the difference. The sequels were too bad to salvage.
I'm thinking of something on the level of the Clone Wars show. Does the Sequel Trilogy have that?

That's exactly what the Mandalorian, Aksoka, and Bad Batch are supposed to be.

Literally the entire purpose of all three is to explain away "somehow, Palpatine returned" and give background to the First Order. It's trying to do exactly what Clone Wars did for the prequels. It just isn't working, because the sequels are making the series worse, rather than the series making the sequels better.

Force Awakens was okay. A basic re-tread of A New Hope which was kind of what the series needed after the prequels.
Last Jedi was terrible. Felt like a big waste of time.
Rise of Skywalker is pure trash. Just awful, made zero sense and was not good in almost any way.

I kind of like the prequels more tbqh. 3 was a good movie and 1 was fun when I was 10.

You mean the show that even fans will admit takes 3-4 seasons before it actually gets to be worth watching?

Yeah, Clone Wars was like 90% trash/Filoni jerking it to his "world building" that had zero consequences on the overall story
