Hayden Christensen reflects on the evolving perception of the Star Wars prequels, especially Revenge of the Sith. He notes a significant shift in how younger fans view these films now compared to the early 2000s, aided by the growth of social media and additional content like The Clone Wars. This shift in perspective contrasts sharply with the original feeling of finality and loss experienced by fans during the prequel's release. Completion of the prequel saga left a lingering sense of an end, unlike the hope felt by previous generations with the release of the original trilogy.
"Back when we made those films [the Star Wars prequels], we didn't really hear much from young fans. There was no social media. But now that they've grown up and have more of a voice..."
"For those who saw Revenge of the Sith at midnight on May 19, 2005, the overriding sentiment was: On no. This is the end of Star Wars."
