The Star Wars Prequels are actually good.

I was watching the deleted scenes from ROTJ yesterday and was reminded about Moff Jerjerrods conflicts serving the Emperor and his surviving telling Vader what to do based on the Emperors command. He was ordered to destroy Endor despite his troops still being on it and was having a really hard time giving the order. It made the Emperor look like the jerk we all knew he was based on the prequels, but it also generated sympathy for the Imperial troops being killed by our heroes at the time so I can see why it was axed - but man that movie needed an adult running it. Kids LOVED Empire even though it was clearly more adult oriented than the other movies and showed that there was a sweet spot for what kind of story Star Wars excels in telling. I wasn't around any kids when Jedi was out but they seemed to sell a lot of toys from it, but as a 19 year old it was a pretty disappointing end in many ways.

So far it's looking like The Last Jedi will get a little more adult in it's material than TFA but that's still to be seen.

I was 13 or 14 when ROTJ came out. I loved it...except the ewoks. They were ok. I didn't hate them at the time like I do now. But even my 13 year old self hated how punked out the Storm Troopers were. It was like they were zero threat...thereby creating zero tension.

But the awesomeness of the Emperor and Vader and Jabba and Boba Fett and that Carrie Fisher dress...but watching it now it is easily and by far the worst of the original three.
