Sure but the easiness of making a prequel is you know how it ends. The new movies are all over the place but they aren't the consistently lazy and boring trash that the prequels are. Some of the problems in the sequels have their origins in the prequels too. The new movies have tried their best to retcon the midichlorian nonsense but it still lingers regardless and results in the movies making even less sense.
Right, that's why he made sure to have Luke and Leia have that incestuous french kiss in Empire Strikes Back. Totally critical for the storytelling, right?
Or maybe they weren't related in A New Hope/Empire, and he retconned that in RotJ. Lucas is the king of retconning his own works.
how is sitting in a swamp doing what they could? the last of the jedi were being hunted by the empire yet neither obi-wan or yoda lift a finger to help any of them. i'm not saying they should have fought the empire by them self's but they could have done literally any thing to help the last of the jedi or the lesser people yet they didn't. as far as i know the only time obi-wan helped any one was when the kid from rebels found him and thats only because he didn't have to get off his dirt farm to do it, yoda didn't do a dam thing. also they did a pretty shit job watching the skywalker twins as leia was captured by vader and the only reason obi-wan even knew was because of r2d2
Why didn't Gendalf just summon the eagles at the beginning of the movie? Oh wait, wrong movie plot hole.
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
They weren't trying to be actual movies. The new ones have effort put into them by serious filmmakers even if they are either too derivative, political or inconsistent. The prequels were a lazy excuse by Lucas to make toys that were made with as little effort as possible. Again, watch the Plinkett reviews as evidence.
He is supposed to be well known, even close to a hero of the resistance. He is trusted with command of the flight forces in action. He is trusted with covert ops by Leia as shown in the very first minutes of TFA. Saying he is no major officer is cute and might be a big concern for a rigid military structure like the TNO, but we are talking about a resistance group here that does this probably without a paycheck..
I just want to point out that by now in the expanded universe he had already died from old age years before this movie was set to happen in star wars. Him being alive youthfull and defering to leah for fleet tactics was stupid to begin with.8. Why did Admiral Akhbar die?
If anything, they should have left Holdo out of the movie entirely if they were going to kill the admiral. They would place him instead of her to "suicide" by lightspeed. I am obviously ignoring the fact that a droid or autopilot would have been enough aswell. Atleast he would have had a role. The mistake here I make is that no one would "suspect" the admiral to maybe betray the alliance. While Holdo is a new face and we would question her motives. But this falls so flat anyway... why not give a beloved character a grand goodbye - and as the ship would go into lightspeed, he would yell: HAHAHAHA, IT IS A TRAP!!!!!

I struggle to buy into many of the criticisms I see of the film in this thread because of this:
"The bomber makes no sense because there'd be no gravity"
Guess what everyone, in space there is basically no sound. So out of all 9 SW movies we've had so far, only one of them was scientifically accurate for about 30 seconds.
That's not a 'point', it's just hyperbolic silliness. Not only were they clearly trying to be actual movies, since you saw it in a movie theater I am going to guess they succeeded and actually were movies.
TLJ summed up:
- super slow space chase
- Leia is basically Mary Poppins meme now
- Fin and asian chick from This is 40 go on a pointless adventure to Las Vegas in space to save some fuckin horses
- Luke milking a cow
- Shirtless Kylo (WTF!?)
- BB-8 turned into a fuckin Terminator on a killing spree
- Big build up to Snoke after TFA, what should we do? Let's turn him into a fucked up Hugh Hefner, oh and he dies...
- Rey becoming super strong out of nowhere (where was her fuckin training)
- great and very emotional scene of Fin's sacrafice turned into a cringe kissing moment
- Luke dodging lightsaber like Neo in Matrix
- Oh and last but not least - Poe telling a mom joke...
