>be me
>rewatching the Prequel Trilogy
>aka revisiting that era everyone has very normal, very calm opinions about

>critics back then:
>“bold expansion of Jedi lore”
>“interesting political themes”
>“execution… varies”
>translation: cool ideas, sometimes delivered like a group project finished at 3AM

>fans back then:
>half the crowd: “finally, deeper Jedi worldbuilding”
>other half: “why are these characters making choices like they’re speed‑running bad decisions”
>entire fandom: “this contradicts canon unless I do mental gymnastics that qualify as Olympic sport”

>over time
>people start saying the trilogy was actually ahead of its time
>“misunderstood on release”
>“ambitious exploration of institutional failure”
>“the Jedi kinda sucked and that’s the point”
>slowly becomes a cult classic for lore nerds and people who enjoy yelling about the Council

>modern discourse
>critics: “fascinating themes, uneven tone”
>fans: “love the ideas, confused by the choices”
>everyone: “explains too much and not enough simultaneously, amazing lightsaber duels”
>somehow both over‑explains the Jedi and under‑explains the plot

>final vibe
>the series is either brilliant, terrible, or both depending on who you ask
>divisive, ambitious, lore‑heavy, occasionally baffling
>aka exactly how I remember it
>even though I’m definitely talking about the prequels
>definitely
>totally
>no reason to suspect otherwise
