    Oh you poor kids. You never knew the world where there weren’t the prequels. Or even the trilogy.

    There were many years - many! - when “prequel” wasn’t even a word! Let alone a real word.

    You’ll just have to trust us when we tell you there was a magical time when there was only one Star Wars and it was glorious.

      I’m pretty sure the Droids cartoon was the first piece of Star Wars media I ever saw.

        Can we stop with the boomer thing? You arent even using it appropriately.

        Dont get me wrong im fine with you coming back at the person for being so patronizing ( “you kids” ) but dudes unlikely to actually be a boomer.

        Star Wars

        episode 4 1977 Episode 5 1980 Episode 6 1983

        16 years later

        Episode 1 1999

        Thats genx/millenial territory

          “Ok, boomer” isn’t about pointing out actual boomers, but about criticizing boomer-think. You can age without letting yourself get old.
