I'm choosing violence today
Over a month late to the PT vs. ST convo. I felt a way about the PT when it was first released. It didn't feel as much like Star Wars to me upon release. But years later it has grown on me. I can't see the ST doing the same. I don't think it could ever grow on me.
That said, did any of you pick up the Haslab LAAT/i? Didn't see any pictures in the last few pages.

I kind of feel the same way. I think the prequels were poorly written and paced, but bones were there of a reasonably decent story. I felt extremely let down by them when I was watching them "live," and I still wouldn't call them good movies, but in the years since, many better writers have built on those bones to make some very good media.
With the sequel trilogy, I feel like they started out with some promise. Like I've said, I think there were some great rough sketches of ideas present in The Force Awakens (though it included it's fair share of bad ideas, too), but after that, I feel like the following two movies pretty much made every possible wrong decision both in execution AND underlying concept. It could be that, in time, some new Star Wars shows will come out that fill in that time period with better material, but it would have to struggle to work around a lot of the established canonical bad ideas.
