Sci-Fi Movies & Series
Saltier Than Crait is a place for Star Wars fans to engage in conversations about the current state of the franchise.
Unofficial community for Star Wars, an American epic space opera franchise, created by George Lucas and centered around a film series that began with the eponymous 1977 movie.
If you grew up in the 2000s, then you know "the prequel trilogy sucked" was a frequent mantra in pop culture. Hell it was practically gospel. Everything from Spaced to Fairly Odd Parents and even Late Night shows had some take on why these movies were terrible. Be it the writing, the performances, Hayden and Natalie's lack of romantic chemistry, overreliance on CGI, incoherent storytelling or hell even Yoda doing jumping bean flips with a lightsaber. Yes, Yoda kicking ass was very controversial back in the day.
No, Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones still aren't good movies. Yes, there were good components to the prequels that fans reluctantly acknowledged were cool, interesting, or revolutionary by the mid-2010s. And yes, The Clone Wars cartoon did so much to retroactively fix the prequels' issues. But what I find so bizarre/frustrating is how 25 years later, the interent is trying so hard to whitewash its own critiques. Like I don't mind people saying the sequel trilogy had issues - they did. Rise of Skywalker is proof of that. But to act like prequel hate wasn't just as bad as the sequel hate, if not the origin of modern nerd culture reactionaries, is a cross between ignorance or willful blindness. Like the same people who say the sequels can't be redeemed said that about Phantom Menace a decade ago. And now look at us.
Any thoughts on what's causing this online amnesia. Is it just that a generation of prequel fans really don't remember the backlash? Did they not watch the news/online forums back then? Did TCW retroactively address so many movie problems that we just see it as a part of the movies, rather than jusdge them on their own terms. Idk, but I'd like fans to admit things were pretty bad back then and, having seen TPM in theaters again, it's not like the movie's quality has changed. We're just super nostalgic now.
