I have a right not to like something. You don’t need to take it personally

The target age demographic is always at most (PG-) 13. Because this target does not change, if the viewer matures, the nostalgia of youth will never align with the expectations of the matured mind. It is the entire tenured ratings system and standardized ultra simplistic morality culture that prevent capitalization on an evolving demographic. Instead, everyone consuming this media is incentivised to remain adolescent of mind or complain about how elements of their childhood fail to align with their evolved and matured expectations.
This is why Andor is so great. It’s star wars but it’s for grown ups.
I’m not falling for that again. I’ve heard that many different times about different movies and shows, and they’re always very clearly made for kids.
Andor is very much the exception, the plot is mature and the characters have actual depth.
Okay, maybe I’ll fall for it one more time, and that’s it!
You should make an exception.
Except the old movies are much better when compared side by side to the new ones, nostalgia or not.
Are they tho? I never watched Star Wars growing up and watched the originals only recently the light saber “fights” are as clumsy as me getting out of bed on a cold Sunday morning.
Sure, some of the choreography wasn’t up to par with modern standards. But the script was actually interesting, whereas the prequels are just an illogical, boring mess.
Check out Red Letter Media’s review for tons of arguments for how bad the prequels are. I agree with pretty much all of their points. And while the original movies also have problems, they aren’t anywhere near this many or this bad.
