I'm strictly Original Trilogy, but support for the prequels and prequel characters among action figure collectors, millenials mostly, is massive.

It's like music, my dad thought music died with the 60s, but every generation wants its idols, heroes etc.

Not just the prequels... They sold stuff from that last disaster by the boatloads.... That stupid rolling ball thing alone must have made GAZILLIONS (which is probably the reason we were stuck with it  ::) )

It's true, Jar Jar is considered a real role model.

I kinda like Jar Jar... A highlight in the prequels... and with better acting skills than most.   :P

I didn't mind the last film. It was a rehash mostly, but I liked some of the designs and they produced some good action figures out of them. Star Wars is about aesthetics as much as anything else. Looking forward to Rogue One.
