What do you think is the reason why people hate the politics in the Star wars prequels but people like LOTGH despite a large part of it being about politics? (ignoring the fact that LOTGH politics is obviously more based, since normies generally don't care about that)
Edit: LOTGH=Legend of the Galactic Heroes for those who don't know
Yeah, the politics might not have helped (I don't remember minding at the time), but it was bad characters like Anakin (and his mom) and, of course, Jar Jar, that really soured a lot of people I think.
