Sequel Trilogy or Post Episode 6 EU

[Antonio the Sixth]

Both are terrible and riddled with a lack of originality and repetition.

The sane answer

That may be true (I haven't read any of the EU, so I can't judge), but at least the EU was developed under great creative freedom and allowed writers to experiment with all sorts of ideas, good and bad. The """sequel trilogy""" was micromanaged by a monopolistic megacorporation with no other goal except turning a profit by capitalizing on fanboy nostalgia, which explains its total lack of any creativity or vision.

"Entertaining" is an inherently subjective criterion, you realize. I'm sorry you're not entertained by Anakin's arc, but that's not an inherent flaw in the movie. I'd argue that a big part of why you (and your cohort of prequel haters, which seem to fall in a very specific age range) don't find it entertaining has to do with the misplaced expectations you had from watching the original trilogy as an impressionable child and then spending years building up the hype, vs watching the prequels as a young adult and being much more able to spot the flaws. That's an understandable experience, but it would be nice if you were willing to consider that it's not a universal one.
