Oddly, TLJ felt shorter to me than any of the prequels or TRoS. But yeah, I haven't watched any Star Wars since 2019.

    Interesting; I love the prequels (terribly flawed as they are), but they were my first exposure to Star Wars. Not that my dad wanted it that way, but when parents are gone and you want to watch a movie, and you see DVDs labelled 4, 5, 6, 1, and 2, it's so obvious to start with the first one.

    Yeah, you're quite younger than me. I saw the original trilogy being released in real time. I never liked the "origin story" direction it took after that. Most of these characters were better off with the mystique that spurred one's own imagination imo. I tried so hard to enjoy the prequels, but they didn't feel like Star Wars to me.

    I remember seeing TFA in the theater for the first time. It was far from perfect, but it felt like the franchise was back on track. I also loved Rogue One.
