    Exactly this. The only people who want the Prequel Trilogy completely excised from the canon (which would be stupid, as a lot of the ground work for the new canon's story has drawn significantly from works set around or directly influenced by the Prequel Trilogy) are the people who still haven't gotten over a movie that was made over 17 years ago. In the meantime, most people who are going to pay money to see these movies couldn't care less about the canon, and such a change would make no difference to them.

    However, this would have the negative side-effect of rendering a lot of Lucasfilm's IP virtually worthless to a generation of potential customers (which is already something they got flak for with the Legends decision, although the fact that they've generated so much content to replace the old stuff is making up for that), in addition to alienating a large portion of the existing fanbase (who provide the base of their support). So the net result would be that they'd be losing money from a lot of existing fans to appeal to a minority of fans who are already paying for their new content anyway. And in terms of business, making less money = bad.

    No. If they erase the PT, they might as well erase the OT.

    It is a FACT, let me reiterate, a FACT that TFA is facing growing criticism. I watched a negative review climb several HUNDRED THOUSAND in views and equal negatively replied comments in just a few days. I am citing personal observational irrefutable evidence to support my claim.

    I am not saying TFA did not receive great reviews and is not well liked, stop putting words in my mouth. I will reiterate the FACT it faces growing critisicm.

    As far as the Prequels go, yes we know you think they are bad and you can't understand how people like them. Yes what a joke we like the garbage fest known as the Prequels. What a joke indeed.

    Disney is staying away from the PT era for a season - they know its not well liked.

    Remaking the PT is something they should do.

    But they won't.

    The general gist of the story they tell is fine but the Prequels were very poorly executed, people who like them obviously don't have very high standards. All Star Wars films, because of the money and resources available to them, should at the very least have a certain standard when it comes to acting, direction, dialogue, special effects, script etc. You can paint a house a certain colour that some people will like and some people will hate, that's subjective, but if the work is shoddy with brush hairs, smudges and bare spots all over, then it deserves criticism and should be redone to a higher standard.

    They're pretty good if you take it in the right context of things.

    Again, not a fact.

    You do understand, this is not what a fact is nor is it "irrefutable".

    You claim to see something, therefore it is based on video views.

    How many views does this channel normally receive on Star Wars video?
    Are raw view numbers indicative of complicit agreement with the video or merely watching to see the content?

    Refuted.

    If someone makes a video about Hitler and the views rise on it, does that mean there's an observational rise in neo-nazism around the world or does it mean that people just watched a video to learn more about history?

    I am a "PT hater", yet I still say no. Its too late for actions like that.
    There are just segments which should never ever be mentioned again, such as: Midichlorians, prophecies etc.
    We can't erase history, but we can learn from it.

    I understand this logic but I also think it's a bit of a copout for holding Lucas responsible for the bad work done on the PT.
    If you did this for every bad movie ever made, then you can "excuse" them for it.

    Execution matters. Lucas executed these movies poorly.

    This sort of mental gymnastics shouldn't be required when you have 3 movies to tell a story. That goes into why they are not good movies. (Enjoyable to some yes).

    I appreciate certain things about them, but if I have to put myself in Lucas' POV to "get" them, I can't call them good.

    Objectively they are not good movies.

    The a large portion of the main cast act poorly in them, plot threads are introduced and dropped, the dialog is cringe worthy, they do not fit all that well with what was established in the OT, the villains are grossly under developed, the look (too much CGI) doesn't hold up well, many of hte concepts are under developed and mentioned simply to move the story forward (he needed a reason for the Jedi to care about Anakin so we get some prophecy we learn nothing about).

    for example, the reason why the jedi were clouded. They had a thousand years to delude themselves and the sith had used the force to cloud their judgement according to Lucas. That would also explain WHY the jedi act the way they do in the prequels

    OT and PT are totally different. for a reason. They dont have to be the same objectively.
    --- Double Post Merged, Jan 16, 2017 ---
    Also, ships in the PT: thats a big criticism i've heard but it was the point to show the republic at it's height to make the OT more extreme with how they fell to that elevel so fast

    This! Yunnubhub is rite here. you cant mental just with him, there are manny more who agree with him. Fact.
    Manny for eggsample do like Jar Jarp. Fact.
    TFA is growing in appreciating. Manny critics on Tomatoes prove this love. Fact.
    The Prequels are negative and manny have likened that Fact to being joust subjective. This is not trolling joust becuz Of his different onion.

    The Prequels are just as better as good as the OT. DEAL WITH FACTS HATERS PLAESE!!!
