Well social media is the current weapon. Still the hate towards Lucas for the prequels was coming from somewhere. Going by RT more than half the critics liked the first 2, and Ep.3 was Certified Fresh.
All 3 received a very decent A- cinema score from audiences as well.
So where was the “universal” hate coming from? Im sure if anyone bothered to do a massive study on it they could find out.

That movie came out when I was in high school and a couple of my friends were hugely into star wars at the time, they were in denial about it for a few weeks.

There will always be a few cry babies especially when the original films were so epic and there was a generational gap between trilogies.

I don’t know how anyone can compare the hot garbage that was TFA and TLJ to TPM. But that’s just me.
For all the shit talk, the original trilogy did have good things in it, good duels for one, the clone wars cartoon where gregious was a beast, Darth Maul, dooku, etc.

I loved it. And I think most people enjoyed it. The hate is overhyped.
Now that I would waste my time studying the hate behind it.

I know alot of people hated Jar Jar Binks because they found him annoying, Personally i didn't find him "that" annoying.

It must be because you talk, walk and goof around like Jar Jar in real life. That must build up some immunity.

Same. Did not care for him. But did not ruin the film for me either.
But he had the kids laughing their heads off.
