I'm not sure why I'm bothering since clearly you're just throwing stuff out there but I'll respond anyways.

This makes no sense. What do you mean of course they didn't age well? Tons of movies age well. Jurassic Park still looks great and it quite a bit older than the prequels. Tons of movies from the last 20 years have aged perfectly fine. They didn't age well because they sucked to begin with.

Heck outside of the Empire Strikes back none of the Star Wars movies have aged well.

So you don't even like Star Wars in the first place. The original trilogy is a masterpiece.

Nobody hated those movies upon release as much then as they did TLJ and none of them drove movie viewers away.

Tons of people hated them way more than TLJ, still do to this day, and rightfully so.

Episodes 1, 2, 3 were varying degrees of mediocre/bad but they never sunk the franchise.

Outside of about 10 minutes they were totally bad. Often times cringeworthy funny bad. The way movies of that nature aren't supposed to be.

Are you actually thinking about what you're saying here? You're defending the prequels as being better movies than TLJ. I know you're pot committed at this point but it would be better for everyone involved if you just admitted you're trolling.

TLJ is the first movie that's may have irreparably damaged the franchise and that's because it's a really, really bad movie. I'm not alone on this as there's hundreds of websites that feel TLJ has killed Star Wars. It was that bad. It fully deserves a spot in my personal list of all time worst movies such as Armageddon, Transformers, Battlefield Earth, Spiderman 3, etc.

If the prequels didn't damage the franchise, nothing will. They were far, far worse than TLJ in every conceivable way.

You can rank it with your all time worst movies all you want but Locke is right, it isn't anywhere close.

My kids and their friends no longer want to watch Star Wars movies after TLJ. This should be terrifying for Disney.

I can guarantee you Disney doesn't care. If the prequels didn't kill star wars, nothing will.

People like to pretend that TLJ created some vast organized group of fans who hate Disney but in reality it is just a function of our times. Far, far more people hate the prequels because they are trash. We just have better ways to share our opinions with likeminded people than we did 20 years ago.

For every you and your friends, there are 100 people who still love Star Wars just fine.

All its gonna take is one good movie and you'll be right back on the hype train with everyone else. Although it seems you never really liked Star Wars to begin with but if the prequels didn't drive you away from Star Wars permanently, nothing will.
