You know, I was thinking, if we've accepted this culture of reboots and long running franchises, I think this could be a decent idea.
I mean, it's not like they could get any worse. Only way to go is up.
I stopped when the article said 16 year old Princess as she wasn't 16, but 13 and Anakin was 9 not 8. Or was it 14 and 9? Regardless, their age difference isn't much a big deal.
Really this whole thing just needs to stop, the PT was fine. Ok so people don't like it...fine, but there are those that do. Also fine.
Jeez, heaven forbid people actually have different opinions. The PT movies still made a ton of money and got mixed reviews, these loud mouth haters just seem to try and give the idea everyone didn't like them when that's not true.

Interesting that the PT was apparently so sucky, yet didn't devalue the franchise even one bit, seeing TFA has had the biggest opening weekend of all time.

I've seen a shit ton of movies before and after watching I-III, and besides the love story angle of II, none of it is objectively shit.
- Plot, pacing and character actions are inconsistent. Plot points like Sifo-Diyas get introduced and then randomly drop. The characters do weird things like foil an assassination attempt on an important politician, then immediately jump out of windows and leave said politician unguarded against a second attempt, etc.
- Character development is static. Anakin changes and everyone around him stays mostly the same.
etc.

Yeah and Critics were never the biggest fans of Star Wars (Until TFA that is).
ANH got terrible reviews initially in 1977. And up until the Prequels they gave ROTJ tons of crap for years.
Only difference with the Prequels was those "neckbeards who miss their childhood" you talk about joined the critics to create what seems like a massive hate campaign.
But in reality a large portion of the GA never stopped spending money on the Prequels, and were clearly still hyped for a new Star Wars movie, despite knowing nothing but the Prequels when it comes to Star Wars for the last 16 years.
