I was thinking about this whole PT, OT, ST thing this morning and have a curious question that probably can't be answered yet. First some background: I was 8 when ANH came out and the OT was a huge part of my childhood and stayed with me through adulthood. My oldest son was 5 when we went to see TPM and he grew up on the PT and still loves those characters and movies, along with the OT. I also like the PT and think there are some great characters (Maul, Dooku, Qui-Gon, Mace, etc, etc). Neither of us love the ST as we were both into adulthood when we first saw it. My question is for kids who were say 5 to 10 years old when TFA came out, how will they feel about the ST? For those who see it as bad is it more because of the OT and even PT lens they came to the ST with, or is it just bad bad?
For what it's worth, I've reviewed all the spoilers because I just didn't want to go in a get sideswiped by stuff that I didn't like and while that may be a weird perspective, it's how I decided to go into TROS. I'm going to enjoy whatever elements of the film I can and not let any elements I don't like ruin the overall experience.
