Please stop calling episodes 1-3, and episodes 7-9, "prequels", or "sequels". They're not. Epic stories are told middle, beginning, then the end. "The Oyddesy" is told the exact same way. They're not prequels, they're episodes 1-3, they're not sequels, they're episodes 7-9. Can we please start calling them by their real names???
shareNo, it takes too long.
Even "prequels" and "sequels" are too long.
PT, OT, ST : that's fast.
It's 2017 : no one has a job but everyone is in a hurry for some reason.
They are prequels and sequels because they were contrived decades after the fact. Star Wars was three wonderfully made movies from the 70s and 80s. Not really any kind of an epic story beyond those three pictures. Disney will prove that as they continue to milk it for all it's worth with endless sequels spin-offs.
shareIt’s always been
Classic Trilogy IV-VI
Prequel Trilogy I-III
Sequel Trilogy VII-IX
Anyone calling it different is doing it wrong.
I call them the originals, the new trilogy, and the disappointments.
shareActually, there's Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back and all that other crap...
shareWould be amusing and relatively admirable if this were to happen... but it ain’t gonna. As you can plainly see, everybody makes up their own rules anyway.
On a side note, despite what most forums say the new trilogy is legit. 👌
There are six good Star Wars films, the rest are Disney movies.
