George Lucas's prequel trilogy wasn't
my favorite, but it did at least give us some clarity on how Darth
Vader became the villain that he was. I think it could have been done
better, but that's a topic for another day—the point is that it did
achieve the goal of filling in that gap of Star Wars history and
explaining why everything was the way it was in the original trilogy.
If we're following a timeline after the first trilogy, we have 2 more
pre-history movies before the original trilogy (episodes IV-VI), and
those are (in opposite order of release) Solo and Rogue One. These
two prehistory movies are my favorite Star Wars movies of the last
three decades, and I'd really like to see more done this way.
However, they are stand-alone for the most part so we don't see many
of those characters returning, though their bonds are better
established than I've seen across a recent trilogy. The bond between
characters is what I think made the original trilogy the best. Then
came Disney's “The Force Awakens”...
