«Ahsoka episode 5 corrects the mistake of the sequel trilogy by addressing the consequences of Anakin Skywalker's redemption, which was ignored in the Disney movies.
The prequels reframed the Skywalker saga to focus on Anakin as the Chosen One, changing the meaning of the original trilogy and making Anakin the central character.
Ahsoka explores the post-Return of the Jedi consequences of Darth Vader, addressing the moral quandary of Anakin's legacy and how characters like Ahsoka reconcile their place in the Skywalker saga.»

She’ll be ok. It’s extremely fuckin difficult to have a career once you’ve done something so monumental. Elijah wood struggled after LOTR. The Harry Potter guy navigated it brilliantly. I think that’s what she’s doing.
It’ll come good for her. She’s fantastic. I love her. She’s clearly a beautiful good soul. It comes off the screen.

More Star Wars might not be the best for her career.

Yeah, doing SW again so quick does not look good if she wants to diversify.

Did I miss something? Are people warming to the prequels?

I feel the prequels failed but were of the same ambition that Lucas had when he first created Star Wars.

The ST is just uninspired crap.

It’s hard for me to parse whether the prequel defenders truly believe the prequels are better than the sequels on creative grounds, or if it’s just alt-right trolling. If I recall the dialogue correctly, the backlash’s seeds were planted well before The Force Awakens was even released (when the casting decisions were announced). I have strong doubts that this prequel-reappraisal movement is about aesthetics.

I think it’s more nostalgia than anything. The prequels are bad but the basic plot is sound.

The sequels had some good ideas and a solid visual aesthetic, but they dropped the ball in countless other ways.

I’m not alt-right or a troll, so that is not why I think the prequela are better.

Don't pay attention to Alex. He doesn't know the first thing about Star Wars.
