i wasn’t 8 years old so i definitely know (they were terrible)

Mozzius today:

No they were actually good.

nothing hits like when you're 8

I recently watched the original trilogy for the first time in like 20 years and yeah I only thought they were good when I was about 8 it turns out

Ep. 1 was kinda bad but it had some redeeming qualities (e.g. racing) which at least made it worth watching. Eps. 2 and 3 were pretty decent but nowhere near as good as the OG trilogy.

Man even when I was 8 I knew the prequels sucked

How old were you when you first watched the originals?

Awful. Well ep 1 was, never saw 2 or 3 based on the crapfest of 1.

I saw the pod race in a big theatre in 5.1 surround sound and the seats rumbled beneath us and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Then I saw it on my home TV and it didn’t make any sense and I didn’t understand how this was the same movie. I don’t have a moral for that story. But it’s true.

I was in my mid- to late 20s. They were mostly pretty bad.

I was 21 and, no, they weren't that good.

both things are true

I’ve heard this argument from 30 year olds. My theory is they zoned out for everything but the final saber fight and Ewan McGregor being actively charming

No. No, they absolutely suck

no I was high as a plane

I was 12 and had a massive crush on Heiden Kristensen

Or are you tying your opinions of them to all the much much better media that ended up surrounding them later on? The amount of heavy lifting Dave Filoni did to repair those movies legacies cannot be understated. That said like 2/3rds of ROTS is good then Anakin kills kids and it never recovers.

Hello brother how are you doing?

Yes
