One thing I found myself asking is what does this new trilogy add to the original movies, and to the Star Wars universe as a whole, and I honestly can't think of anything. As bad as the prequels were, at least they gave us a lot of backstories to important characters and expanded on the Star Wars lore. All the new movies did was rehash ANH, meander pointlessly for 2 hours, and then rehash RotJ. The universe is at the exact same place that Return of the Jedi left it in, nothing new was accomplished
I think the main reason the new movies piss me off so much now is that they basically invalidate the original trilogy, nothing that Luke, Leia, or Han fought for meant anything in the end
