While episode 4 was such a teenie movie, 5 and 6 were, despite being totally overhyped, actually quite radical, and not just in their iconography.
The prequels had potential, but were butchered, mainly by awful CGI.
The sequels weren't bad in my book, just way too similar to the original 4-6.
I'd argue that especially on Reddit, you're always up against brigades, claques and other coordinated actors pushing corporate or state narratives on the naive parts of the populace. In hindsight, it's really awfully obvious.
had all of that knowledge
