10 Reasons To Stop Hating Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

10. The Dialogue Was Better Than The Prequels

The bar was set pretty low here, admittedly.

It's no secret that viewers and even the actors themselves struggled to connect with the cold and often bizarre dialogue George Lucas threw into his scripts when creating Episodes I-III.

Hell, the likes of Mark Hamill and co. even had the mind behind the galaxy far, far away change and cut out various lines during the making of the Original Trilogy, too, with the Luke Skywalker actor once begging Lucas to erase a particularly dodgy piece of dialogue about a planet's security (via Joe) after thinking to himself, "who talks like this, George?"

Jump forward to The Force Awakens and beyond, and at least the various new faces and returning icons all sounded like actual human beings this time around.

In fact, in The Last Jedi alone, some of the finest exchanges in the franchise's history briefly washed away those painful memories of sandy conversations, with Luke and Leia's long-awaited reunion giving fans the gift of one more charming Carrie Fisher quip about her change of hairstyle - a gorgeous line written by the late legend herself.

It wasn't all perfect, of course - never forget that "they fly now!" - but the Sequels certainly recorded a lot more dialogue hits than the trilogy of misses that came before them.
