The Prequels started the prop-focused trend that the ST capitalized on. Everything from Jedi Robes to lightsabers, things featured sparingly in the OT, become super common and totems in their own right. I mean, it's not even clear that Jedi were meant to always wear earth-tone coloured robes. Uncle Owen wears them, because he lives in a desert and they are modeled on bedouin robes. But suddenly in the PT all the Jedi dress like Obi-wan and all the little kid padawans dress like Luke. Even beyond the midichlorians, as SMG has said the PTs demystify the force and turn it from something that people like Han can be skeptical of, to something that objectively people should believe in because acrobatic space samurai were backflipping 30 feet in the air within living memory by the time ANH comes around. C-3P0 and R2 also become inexplicably linked to multiple main characters, leading to the universe feeling a lot smaller. The PT aren't without merit but they do suffer from the same creative drift that the ST would have much worse.

Actually, the design of Obi-Wan's robes were different from Luke and Owen's even in ANH.

And in the PT the Jedi all have their own customized robes.

Reviewing Treverrows script (or an early draft anyways) and it sounds better than TROS but still kinda dumb, but ultimately still better than TROS.

Still flabbergasted that they got handed a force ghost luke that specifically left 1 training lesson from Rey untaught & told Kylo he'd see him around and only used him on his same dumb island to basically walk back TLJ.

How do you gently caress that up, JJ!!!

In addition, while I haven't watched RoS, I have read the spoilers, and thus would reiterate my earlier point that, in the context of the sequels viewed through this mindset, Dry Sheev is Russiagate.

The weird thing is the 'sold into slavery' bit is entirely a TLJ invention - Rey in TFA doesn't seem to be a slave; she's an independent scavenger who just comes into town when she needs to sell parts for supplies. But then RoS keeps the slavery detail, even though it wants to rewrite everything about TLJ, so we end up with the completely incoherent explanation that her loving parents sold her to protect her even though there's no sign in the movie itself that she was sold to anyone...

Okay, they should have used the term sharecropper instead.

No offense, but that really really wasn't the point of the yuuzhan vong. If anything the whole point was that the characters had to get over their preconception of them as purely evil and empathize with/show mercy to them

Yeah, they win by causing a revolt within the lower class among other things.

Thats really good, could have tied into a plot about Snoke needing to win quickly because he doesnt actually have the manpower to conquer the entire galaxy at present but instead needs to consolidate gains while the New Republic is scrambling to deal with the aftermath of the explosion of its capital world. Having Leia or her faction surrender would bolster his ability to negotiate so hes trying to grind her specifically down. It would also make a suicide attack seem triumphant in a way audiences might find troubling so its extra good

Or you know whatever, context for characters actions and motivations is a Lucas weakness

My own fan pitch for a third movie back when TLJ came out was a three-way battle between the Republic, the New Order and the Resisance/Rebels.

Didn't Lucas want to have Han in Revenge of the Sith as a feral Tarzan child living with the Wookies?

Which would actually fit in with Han's original backstory as imagined by Lucas, where Han was kidnapped by Space Gypsies and then rescued and raised by Wookies before joining (and failing out of) the Academy.
