I feel like there's a lot of revisionist stuff going on with the prequels now. They aren't good movies on a fundamental level, writing, acting, apart from 3 the CG looks awful. If you don't like the sequels that's fine but I really think trying to present the prequels as good is going a bit far. I've enjoyed the sequels for what they have been. I agree they could have been much more memorable in general but I don't think they're bad, I actually really enjoyed TLJ, TFA was very forgettable but still solid movie. ROTS is my 3rd favourite film I think, maybe TFA. The other 2 are enjoyable for what they are, and for when they were released, but I still enjoy Ep 1 and 2 far more than I'll ever enjoy TLJ.

Yeah, I feel there been a bit of a change in how the prequels have been received the past few years. There’s definitely a revisionist feeing to some of it, but I also wonder if it’s partly because a lot of kids who grew up with the prequels at a very young age (the generation who’ll have a more positive opinion of them) are now old enough to be widely spreading their opinions on the internet. The prequel trilogy has also done extremely well online in ‘meme culture’ (ugh). What I mean is that I’ve seen a lot of memes based off parts of the prequel trilogy online, not just on Reddit’s pretty popular /r/prequelmemes, but all over social media and I think that would help give it a more positive reception for certain demographics who come across them often. Say what you want about the pretty terrible dialogue, but it is very quotable 😂 For me personally, and sticking to the Skywalker Saga, I really enjoy TFA and TLJ and I’m super keen to rewatch them for TROS. I enjoy them more than the prequels, of which 1 and 2 are definitely my lowest ranking films. Quite like 3 though. They’re films where I can recognize what’s wrong with them, yet still enjoy them for what they (and what they do get right).

Yeah I have seen and often enjoyed the prequelmemes and could see how they could be contributing to a more positive outlook. I grew up watching the prequels and enjoyed them but I tried to watch them a few years ago and was shocked at how bad they were on basic fundamental aspects.

Sounds like John Boyega's agent let slip on Instagram that the trailer's going to be released tomorrow night.
Some people alternatively suspected the 21st of October (though I'm much more inclined to believe the agent of one of the film's main actors), but regardless of which date it definitely coincides with the final trailers for The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
