That just doesn't make sense to me. But good luck with that bruh.
What doesn't make sense about it?
You don't need to watch the PT in order to understand what's goin on in the OT because the OT stands on it's own. People were watching the OT for almost 20 years before the PT ever existed.
The ST is the sequel to the OT. As long as there aren't any direct prequel references in any of the films, you won't have to watch the PT before you do the ST either. So if you really wanted to, you could carry on like they never happened.
Sure they had me really invested for a few years but the huge drop in quality and the complete lack of spirit kinda kept it from living up to the Star Wars name and so for that I could never truly accept it as Star Wars lore. Lookin back on the PT now it was a nice little accessory to the OT and it was a fun little "what if" kinda scenario but it's not what I envision in my head when I watch the original films and the characters are out there talking about the past.
It's like when nikkas just got up and wrote a new testament even though there was already an old testament. If you're a christian you believe in both but if you were a jew it was like "nah nikka you could have your book too if you want we dig the whole jesus story but you don't expect to us to believe that shyt right?"
Hopefully the ST could be the spiritual successor to the OT like we all hope it is so that Star Wars can finally move FORWARD.
