Prequel nostalgia exists because kids at the time liked them, and are now able to push back against existing criticism from older fans. There won’t be sequel nostalgia, because kids today simply don’t give a shit about Star Wars, so they’re not going grow up and decide to push back against sequel criticism.

@TallonMetroid @Lyre The prequels were largely saved by the the Clone Wars animated series as well. I don’t see how that happens for the sequel trilogy.

Thats interesting, I was always under the impression that the animated series came out as a response to changing opinions about the prequels, not the other way around. But the more I think about it maybe the timeline doesn’t work out so you’re probably right

True, i think superheroes probably fill that niche in cultural zeitgeist for kids growing up nowadays. So i wonder if we’ll see a similar phenomenon happen with something like Batman vs Superman or some other superhero property that was critically panned
