Hello again! I think the issue with the critics and fans being critical of the prequels is different from the disney sequels. Some fans didn’t like the original director’s vision vs. a portion of fans not liking a mega corporation/multimedia company buying an ip to churn out movies for profit.

The prequels, in spite of the flaws, was still planned out and part of the creator’s vision. Each movie in the prequel trilogy rhymed with the original trilogy.

Meanwhile the disney sequels are disjointed and nonsensical because there was no concrete plan. The directors cared more about their own visions rather than continuing the story.
