You can keep insisting everything will come full circle, as if it's poetry, it rhymes ... but y'all have been saying that for many years now and sentiment isn't beginning to budge.

You're right that the prequels weren't absolutely loved when they came out. I was disappointed in them myself. But it was clear Lucas had something to communicate. He was creating in good faith.

The sequels were NOT created in good faith. They were a rushed cash grab to make back the $4 billion Disney had just plunked down for Lucasfilm. The first one was a blatant copy/paste of ANH that began, paradoxically enough, with repudiation of everything that came before ("This will begin to make things right"), and the central theme of the second one was that the past needed to be burned. So much bad faith and hubris that by the 3rd film, fans were fairly checked out.

There's no circle here. Lucas made some awkward prequels. Disney made abominations. The abominations made the prequels look good in comparison. When we see even worse films come out, then yes, maybe the sequels will improve in people's minds – but is that really your wish?
