Gonna comment on the prequel thing and TFA thing at the same time.

Prequels get by on childhood, though the fighting is kinda fake in hindsight. It's like Batman 89 and the Killing Joke, in that I much prefer what came out of it over the material in question.

Personally, TFA is my favorite of the Star Wars movies. Maybe it's because I grew up with nothing but Special edition versions of the originals, and thus I haven't seen true brilliance, but for some reason, I connected with TFA way more than ANH. Now, don't get me wrong, ANH is classic, and truely must have some respect thrown its way, but I feel that it falls flat in a few areas for me, even though I have a hard time figuring out what those areas are. Just something is too off for me to properly appreciate it(I didn't even properly appreciate Tarkin until Rogue One). I also didn't care about Rey and Finn before I saw it in the theaters. I was coming back to see Han Solo, Leia Organa, and all of the other old faces face off against an Empire-fanclub that has a a possibly cool Sith dude on their side. Seemed cool, kinda exciting. I'll watch it but not get overly into it again. However, the movie got me hooked on those characters in a more natural way. TFA made me WANT to collect Star Wars action figures for the first time since 2005, and really rekindled my love for the franchise.

Man, that's long and possibly doesn't make sense due to it being 12 in the morning. Expect some edits.
